Bookroo's summary

Freddy, a first grader, is plagued by nightmares of a vampire, leaving him exhausted and drooling on the bus. Desperate for rest, Freddy turns to his best friend, big sister, and parents for help. Can they help him conquer his fears and finally get a good night's sleep? Dive into Freddy's world and discover if he can outsmart the vampire haunting his dreams.

From the publisher

Watch out, Junie B., there’s a new kid on the block! It’s Freddy Thresher, a 1st grader who knows it’s a jungle out there. The sixth in a new series by an elementary school teacher who’s seen it all. “I have a problem. A really, really, big problem. I keep having these nightmares about a vampire.”Freddy’s horrible nightmares are keeping him awake all night. Now he’s so tired that he falls asleep during breakfast and drools on himself while napping on the bus. He needs to get some rest–quick! But every time Freddy closes his eyes, the scary dream comes back. Will Freddy be able to outwit the vampire with the help of his best friend, his big sister, and his parents?
