Pretty cute children's book for more advanced readers...I'd say around second grade. It was new to get some perspective from a vampire kid, and the thought of a vampire that is afraid of other monsters is pretty funny! I thought the illustrations went very well with the story, too.

The message, which teaches children they can find friends in the most unexpected places, is a nice one. I just though the ending was a little too abrupt. I would have liked to see what Valentina's parents thought of her new friend!

Though the book has a slightly scary feel, I think it could be enjoyed by young readers year round, not just in the Halloween season.
