12-year-old Bram Murray has bounced around foster care his whole life. Sure, his peculiar habits always raised eyebrows, like staying up all night and eating only red-colored food. But Bram just thought he was different. He never imagined he was the world’s last living vampire—or that he’s being hunted!

After escaping a werewolf ambush, Bram is recruited into the Van Helsing Academy for Supernatural Children, a secret school that turns young monsters into heroes! There, he meets other outcasts just like him, including a ghost girl, an invisible boy, and a kid who’s half Bigfoot.

Unfortunately, Bram and his friends just might be the most pathetic heroes ever. But they’d better figure it out fast because the Dark Ones have returned, and they’re searching for a powerful artifact to resurrect Count Dracula and conquer the world!

Will Bram and his monster friends save humanity—or will they unleash more Monster Problems?
