Bookroo's summary

Maud is a little vampire whose week turns out to be very busy. On Monday she finds a teapot that is obviously haunted, and very hungry. Over the following days she sells spiders and juice from a sidewalk stand, finds a ghost family in her dollhouse, visits Agnes the witch for a dynamite soup and holds a yard sale, until Sunday brings a teapot around again.

From the publisher

“Cozy, witty, and brimming with charm–a perfect introduction to chapter books for spooky-loving young readers.” –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Follow an adorable little vampire named Maud through a week of ever-so-gently-spooky adventures in this charming story Who would have known on Monday that the week ahead would be such a busy one? It all starts when Maud finds a teapot that is obviously haunted (and very hungry). EEEK! The days continue with Maud’s attempt to sell spiders (and juice) from a sidewalk stand; a mega-toothy discovery; a ghost family taking over the dollhouse; and a visit to Agnes the witch, who brews up a dynamite soup. Then comes Maud’s yard sale, which is a lot of work but a great success, rounding out a very full week. But wait, could that be a teapot coming around again, on Sunday? In this slightly gothic tour through the days of the week, the delight is in the details as illustrations portray Maud and her family and friends among the familiar objects and activities of childhood, with just enough of a quirky twist to please the young vampire lovers among us.
