Bookroo's summary

Dennis the Vampire struggles to earn his place on the Scream Team, a group of misfit monsters facing league expulsion without a sponsor. His secret meetings with the rival Vampire Team cast doubt on his loyalty. As the championship game looms, Dennis must prove himself and rally support to save his team. Can he win back their trust and secure their future, or will his actions lead to their downfall? The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking in this thrilling tale of teamwork and redemption.

From the publisher

Watching this team of misfit monsters is a scream! Basketball season has begun for the Scream Team but Dennis the Vampire can’t seem to get any playing time. That may not be a problem for much longer because if the Scream Team can’t find a sponser, they’re going to be kicked out of the league. But how can any monster trust Dennis when he’s seen meeting with the Vampire Team? During the championship game, Dennis earns everyone’s trust back with a stellar performance. The crowd all chips in to help sponser the scrappy Scream Team.
