Bookroo's summary

Nigel Mullet, an awkward teenage vampire, battles acne and a squeaky voice instead of superpowers. When a captivating new girl arrives, he must muster the courage to win her heart and prove he's more than a misfit. Can Nigel overcome his insecurities and family expectations, or is he doomed to remain a lackluster vampire forever?

From the publisher

Nigel Mullet isn’t your typical teenager . . . he’s a vampire. But unfortunately, when Nigel transformed he didn’t become all broody and interesting, and as for super strength and speed . . . well, forget it! Instead he’s got acne, a voice that squeaks, a tendency to break out in a rash (not sparkles!) when exposed to the sun, and absolutely no idea how to talk to girls. When a beautiful new girl moves into the neighborhood, Nigel is determined to win her heart but first he’s got to figure out how. In the meantime, he writes about her in his diary and composes really bad love poetry that he will recite to her one day, if he can work up the courage to tell her the truth. Can Nigel win the girl and the respect of his family–or is he destined to be a totally lame vampire forever?
