Title: Vampire Academy
Author: Richelle Mead
Year: 2007
Genre: Fantasy, Vampires
Age: 7th grade up
Summary: Best friends Rose and Lissa are sent back to their vampire boarding school after two years as run aways. Readjusting to not only school but vampire politics takes its toll on the two.
Review: What a fantastic vampire book! Mead gives us a new take on vampire myths with a big helping of high school drama. But more than that, the damsel in distress does a bang up job of trying to rescue herself, and when rescuers actually come? That hero is a girl, not a love interest. Girl power, vampire power, romance-- this book is fantastic. Better than that, there’s more, an entire series! Look for it this fall in the middle school.
