Vampire Rising

Vampire Rising by Jason Henderson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Jason Henderson agreed to do a Skype visit for our school in January. I was excited to read one of his books in preparation for the visit. Vampire Rising turned out to be a perfect middle school read. The story is about Alex Van Helsing, who finds out he is part of a famous family of vampire fighters. Because of a fight and strange experiences at his school at home, his father decides to send him to Glenarvon Academy in Switzerland. He begins to have strange sensations and experiences after arriving at this school. He discovers he has abilities to detect vampires. He also discovers that the school he is attending is close to a vampire stronghold. His abilities are necessary to help the Polidorium fight the vampires. The book is filled with action that should attract middle school boys, but also be exciting for girls.
