What's Tom Bites Back About

Publisher Summary

Tom the Vam-Wolf-Zom is back - and so is the vampire bat that bit him - in this monstrously funny series about a boy who’s dying to fit in. “Fast! Funny! Fresh!” - Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Mr. Lemoncello’s Library series “What are you waiting for? Open this book right now!” - Tom Angleberger, New York Times best-selling author of the Origami Yoda series 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 the worst part? Even a Vam-Wolf-Zom needs to go to sixth grade. At least his neighbors and classmates seem to have accepted him. Annie even wants him to join her band! Plus, there are some cool things about having vampire and werewolf traits. Tom has night vision now, and he’s super-fast and strong. (There’s nothing cool about being a zombie.) Maybe life as a Vam-Wolf-Zom will be as EXCELLENT as his best friend, Zeke, predicted. But when the bat that bit Tom shows up again, and speaks to him, he knows it’s time for a new plan. Tom’s laugh-out-loud adventures continue as he navigates normal sixth grade stuff - singing in a band, dressing up for Halloween, tolerating his older sister - despite being the only Vam-Wolf-Zom known to humankind. 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. Don’t miss Middle School Bites, the first book in the series!
