Bookroo's summary

Tom, bitten by a vampire, werewolf, and zombie, faces a wild dilemma. Hunted by the werewolf that bit him, he must decide between joining a wolf pack or enduring sixth grade's trials. With a vampire's warning about danger and the lure of leaving school behind, Tom weighs his love for his band, friends, and maybe-girlfriend Annie against the freedom of a wolf's life. Will he embrace his monstrous side or stick with the chaos of middle school? Dive into Tom's hilarious, undead adventure and find out!

From the publisher

Tom the Vam-Wolf-Zom is back–and so is the werewolf that bit him–in this monstrously funny series about a boy who’s dying to fit in. Eleven-year-old Tom was bit by a vampire, a werewolf, and a zombie right before the first day of middle school. It was a weird and crazy day. And he didn’t even get excused from sixth grade! Now he’s being hunted down by the werewolf that bit him. Should Tom join a wolf pack? On the one hand, he could give up school and homework forever. (He really doesn’t want to do his history report.) On the other hand, he’d miss his band, his friends, and Annie, his maybe-possibly-someday girlfriend. He might even miss his big sister, Emma. Then the vampire that bit him returns with a warning: the werewolf is dangerous. Perhaps Tom should stick with sixth grade–even if it’s mostly talent show disappointments, detention, and chicken-turkey-salami-roast beef sandwiches. Created by an Emmy-nominated writer for SpongeBob, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, and CatDog, this hilarious series is illustrated with clever, cartoon-style art on every spread. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The Last Kids on Earth.
