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! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlus, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when the bat that bit Tom shows up again, and \u003ci\u003espeaks \u003c\/i\u003eto 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCreated by an Emmy-nominated writer for \u003ci\u003eSpongeBob, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCatDog\u003c\/i\u003e, this hilarious series is illustrated with clever, cartoon-style art on every spread.
