Review: Frankie D, Vegan Vampire by Sally Dutra, Brian Dutra, Tiffani Brown (illustrator)

Rating: 4 Stars

I recently had the pleasure of reading Frankie D, Vegan Vampire, and it was Fang-tastic! This charming early chapter book introduces us to Frankie, a lovable vampire trying to navigate his way through a new life in a human world.

The story follows Frankie and his family as they adjust to their new home after moving from Transylvania. From adapting to a new sleep schedule to adhering to a plant-based diet, Frankie faces unique challenges in fitting in. The added pressure of keeping his vampire identity a secret at school makes for an entertaining and heartwarming tale.

One of the highlights of the book is its emphasis on themes of friendship, acceptance, and standing up to bullies. The authors did a fantastic job infusing humor into the narrative, making it both entertaining and relatable for young readers. The character development of Frankie is endearing, and his three-legged wolf pet adds an extra layer of charm to the story.

While the illustrations in my copy were black and white, I couldn't help but imagine how vibrant and engaging they would be in color. If the final version includes colored illustrations, it would surely enhance the reading experience even more.

In conclusion, Frankie D, Vegan Vampire is a delightful beginning to what promises to be an enchanting series. With its lovable characters, humor, and valuable life lessons, this book is a must-read for young readers looking for a fun and heartening story. I eagerly await the next installment in Frankie's adventures!
