"He is half-vampire, half-human, and 100% rock star."
Undead and Ready to Rock!
Have you ever felt like you didn't quite fit in? Maybe you have a secret that you can't tell anyone. Well, Christian Jorgensen has a giant secret. He has super pale skin, fangs, and a weird thirst for blood. He is a "Daywalker"—half-human and half-vampire!
But instead of hiding in a dusty old castle, Christian decides to do something totally awesome: he starts a 1960s rock band called The Vamps. They wear fake fangs and pale makeup as a joke, but the joke is secretly on the audience!
Book Overview
The story starts in Norway in 1954. Christian is born to a human mom and a very mean vampire dad named Wolfgang. To save her own life, his mom has to become a vampire too, and they leave baby Christian at an orphanage. Luckily, a super sweet family adopts him, and he grows up normal—except for his superpower of being able to stand the sun!
When Christian grows up, he starts his rock band and falls in love with his guitarist, Kjell. Everything is going great, and the band is getting famous. But then, Christian’s evil vampire dad shows up again. Wolfgang and his scary vampire friends are mad because they think the rock band’s "undead" act is going to reveal that real vampires exist!
Soon, Christian has to go from playing guitar to fighting a scary vampire war to protect Kjell and save what is left of his family.
Entertainment, Style, and Fun
This book is a total blast to read. It's not a school book or a boring history lesson. It is pure entertainment! The story moves super fast, and the author does a great job of making you feel like you are traveling through the 1960s with a cool rock band.
It's also really easy to understand. You don't have to look up giant words in the dictionary to find out what is happening. The feelings of wanting to protect the people you love and finding out who you really are are things we can all understand, even if we don't have fangs!
