There's a witty new boy in Plymouth and he has everybody talking. Stunningly podgy and devastatingly pale, all the boys want him. However, James Greenway has a secret - he's a sinister vampire.
Luke Willis is an adorable, short boy who enjoys writing. He becomes fascinated by James who can stop cars with his bare hands. He doesn't understand why he's so standoffish.
His best friend, an incredible fairy called Sharon, helps Luke begin to piece together the puzzle. Together, they discover the ultimate weapon - the yellow, ribbed paperweight.
When bodies start turning up all over Plymouth, Luke begins to fear the worst. The fairy urges her to report James to the police and he knows he should, so what's stopping him?
He may resist James's bite, but can he resist his charms?
Will he be caught cooking with the vampire?
