Purchase options and add-ons

Tom the Vam-Wolf-Zom is back - and so is the vampire bat that bit him - in this monstrously funny series about a boy who's dying to fit in.

"Fast! Funny! Fresh!" - Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Mr. Lemoncello's Library series

"What are you waiting for? Open this book right now!" - Tom Angleberger, New York Times best-selling author of the Origami Yoda series

Eleven-year-old Tom was bit by a vampire, a werewolf, and a zombie right before the first day of middle school. It was a weird and crazy day. And the worst part? Even a Vam-Wolf-Zom needs to go to sixth grade. At least his neighbors and classmates seem to have accepted him. Annie even wants him to join her band!

Plus, there are some cool things about having vampire and werewolf traits. Tom has night vision now, and he's super-fast and strong. (There's nothing cool about being a zombie.) Maybe life as a Vam-Wolf-Zom will be as EXCELLENT as his best friend, Zeke, predicted.

But when the bat that bit Tom shows up again, and
speaks to him, he knows it's time for a new plan. Tom's laugh-out-loud adventures continue as he navigates normal sixth grade stuff - singing in a band, dressing up for Halloween, tolerating his older sister - despite being the only Vam-Wolf-Zom known to humankind.

Created by an Emmy-nominated writer for
SpongeBob, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, and CatDog, this hilarious series is illustrated with clever, cartoon-style art on every spread. Don't miss Middle School Bites, the first book in the series!

"The witty frankness of Tom’s narration consistently amuses, keeping readers firmly on his side as he grows as a person and in his powers. Bloody good."—Kirkus Reviews

Both of my kids were THRILLED that the second book in the series finally arrived. COVID cabin fever is very real at our home so this was a welcome distraction. So far both prefer this story to the firstbook and they are looking forward to the next installment!

    Middle School Bites: Tom Bites Back, by Steven Banks, is a humorous book with an intriguing twist. Tom, the main character of the book, has gone through some unfortunate events in his first week of middle school. These include being turned into a vampire (he thought it was a spider bite), being bitten by a werewolf (he thought it was just a big dog), and being bitten by a zombie (at a creepy old carnival at a gas station), and that is just the unusual stuff! This has turned him into the world’s first Vam-Wolf-Zom.
    The book starts out with Tom and his family visiting their grandmother’s house, which is very far from his neighborhood, on the night of a full moon. His Gram really likes old horror movies and things of that nature, so Gram is really interested in Tom. After Gram sees him turn, Tom says goodnight and goes to bed. This is where he finds a bat sitting outside the window. The bat is Martha Livingston-the bat that turned him into a vampire. Tom has a lot of questions, but before he can ask anything Martha turns into a girl!
    The majority of the book is filled with Tom trying to be a normal kid, which is not possible, because of what Tom is. The book has a good balance of funny, serious sections, action sections. This results in an interesting, light, enjoyable read.
    A difference between this book and many other books is that Tom does not try to hide the fact that he is a Vam-Wolf-Zom. All his other classmates, teachers, and basically everyone knows that he is a Vam-Wolf-Zom from the start of the book. This makes for a book that is refreshing, because it isn’t cluttered with Tom trying to hide his true form.
    This book literally bites, in a good way that is. It is a rather entertaining read (unless you do not like Werewolves, Zombies, or Vampires, and if that is the case, why in the world are you reading this book). Unfortunately, this book is intended for younger audiences, so I did not enjoy the book as much as I would have if I were younger. The book, although intended for younger audiences, can be an entertaining read for any age, albeit a short one for more advanced readers. In the end, I give this book a solid 3 bats out of 5, as it is an entertaining read and one that any young horror enthusiast will enjoy!
