About The Book
Move over Edward Cullen! There’s a new cute vampire in town.
Gibbus Moony’s grownup fangs have finally grown in. Now all he wants to do is chomp on something juicy! All day Gibb hunts high and low for his first unsuspecting victim. But just when he thinks he’s found the perfect bite, he may discover something even more fang-tabulous to sink his teeth into. Humor, heart, and charming illustrations make this a toothsome treat for Halloween promotions and beyond!

Raves and Reviews
"Corace is on familiar ground: she's proved herself to be a virtuoso at portraying unlikely but thoroughly likable rebels...an offbeat take on the popular culture's vampire obsession."
--Publishers Weekly, June 20, 2011
“All goes down well, coupled with Corace’s deft acrylic, watercolor and pen-and-ink images of Gibbus’ humorous process of figuring things out. Get ready for many year-round requests for this “fangtastic” title.”
--Kirkus, August 1, 2011
“The illustrations, done in pen, ink with watercolor, and acrylic, are clean and crisp…fun art.”
--School Library Journal, September 2011
