Sucks To Be Me

I just started reading a new book called Sucks to Be Me by Kimberly Pauley. This book is about a teenage girl, Mina, whose parents are vampires. So far the book describes that she is not a vampire. Mina was named after the girl in the Dracula movies and books. She thinks this is a huge mistake by her parents because it is just like sticking a sign on her that says “My parents are vampires”. Serena, Mina’s best friend, was driving her to school right after she finds out that she has to make a huge decision; does she want to be a vampire or not. If that wasn’t hard enough she had chemistry test and the book they are reading in English class is Dracula. After Mina’s embarrassing English class (where her teacher, Ms. Tweeter, forced her to read Mina’s parts to the class) she runs into her crush Nathan in the hallway and freezes. Serena has to shake her out of her shock to help her realize that her classmate Tim had been making fun of her by saying “You vant to suck my blood?”(Kimberly Pauley, 11).
