This middle-grade fantasy comedy series follows an ordinary boy who befriends a vampire child about his own age — whose extended family of traditional Transylvanian vampires provides endless comic complications. The series is light, funny, and aimed at younger middle-grade readers who enjoy mildly spooky stories with more humor than genuine fright.
Nine-year-old Tony befriends Rudolph, a young vampire who flies into his room one night, and becomes entangled in the vampire family's struggle to avoid detection by a vampire hunter. A gentle, funny introduction to supernatural fiction for younger readers. The first in a long-running German series.
