Lexi decides to run for class president of the freshman class. While she was ahead of Maddy and Hudson in her quest for humanness, she uses her vampire habits in her bid for election. She also upsets the love of her young life as she runs for office. Meanwhile Maddy and Hudson make Halloween last the whole month of October and Maddy once again uses her hunting skills to take down another baddie. And during all this, they host a couple of pixies.

I love this family. They are funny. Lexi wises up the Mina and decides to strike out on her own. Maddy is wild. Nothing evil gets past her. She is still up to her finding and routing evil out of the neighborhood. Hudson still continues his environment protection and gets Maddy to protect him. She does have a way about her.

I wish this were not the last book in the series. I would love to see these characters again. I have a few questions I want answered. ( )

Kids will love this series about a teenage vampire girl named Lexie who just wants to fit in at high school. The Livingstone family left their Old World ways behind, including their thirst for blood, in an effort to become mortal. Things are looking up for Lexie when the ever popular Mina Pringle asks Lexie to be a speechwriter in her bid to be elected as freshman class president. However, when Mina uses Lexie's way with words to woo the dreamy Dylan Easterby, Lexie decides to run for class president herself.

As if things weren't bad enough, the Livingstone family is assigned to help with the relocation of two mischievous pixies. Lexie suddenly finds herself torn between running a clean campaign and reverting to her vampire ways. She soon learns that her human energy is wearing off, and she's becoming Nocturnal. Can she make things right before she slips into the Dark Side forever?

The Bottom Line: V is for...Vampire: A Vampire Island Story is campy, witty and just plain fun. The middle school crowd is sure to adore Lexie and her friends.
