About this book
In this second My Sister the Vampire adventure, sunny cheerleader Olivia Abbott and her newly found twin, goth girl Ivy Vega—who happens to be a vampire—try to balance middle school life with a very big secret. When the vampire world starts to take a little too much interest in Olivia, the sisters must rely on their bond, quick thinking, and a few switcheroos to keep things under wraps. Light scares, lots of humor, and a sweet sister story make this a fun pick for fans of friendship tales with a paranormal twist.
Setting: Franklin Grove, a contemporary suburban town and middle school
