Synopsis:
There's a new guidance counselor at Bailey Elementary School and he's giving the kids the creeps. No one understands why his skin is so pale, why he hides from the sun, or why his skin is deathly cold to the touch. But Counselor Drake couldn't really be Count Dracula, could he?
My review:
This book series about Bailey School Kids is one of a few about Dracula. The kids in third grade find out they have a new counselor for the school after a fight has broken out. One of the kids, who is in fourth grade, is called into the office and looks a bit paler after meeting Mr. Drake.
Rumors run amuck and the kids think he could be the infamous Count Dracula, C.D. for short. Hilariousness ensues as the kids try different things to find out for sure.
I loved the things the kids tried to do to find out if their counselor was indeed Dracula. Everything you might know about the vampire is in this book one way or the other. Being a Halloween kind of person, this humored me. Kids sometimes are so innocent in their doings and in this book, that is truly the case.
The book also touches a bit on kindness even when you may not particularly like someone. This is an undertone of the book but kid's reading the book will get it.
The other thing I like about this book is it was a chapter book. The print was larger and could help not only emergent readers but those than may have a problem reading smaller print.
This is a cute book and I love this series and look forward to reading more. 4 stars!
