"In a working-class town in a county west of London, a schoolgirl scribbles in the back pages of her exercise book, thrilling to the first sparks of her own inventiveness. As she grows, she becomes one on whom nothing is lost. Not the novels an eccentric customer slips her at the grocery store where she works as a checkout clerk, or the indelible outline of the careening creature himself. Not the growing heaps of books in which she loses--and finds--herself....

Scream Street Book #2 — the quest for the relics continues. (Ages 8-10)
What better way to feed the neighborhood vampires than to pipe blood from residents' cuts and nosebleeds straight into kitchen taps? And how better to foil Luke's mission to free his folks than to cut off this vital (if icky) blood supply to Luke's best vampire friend? What's more, the local sewer rats have been accidentally turned into raging vampire rodents.
