Meet Mo Merrydrew - independent young woman, Mini Battenberg fan, president of the debating society - and reluctant vampire queen ... Fifteen-year-old Mo Merrydrew isn't exactly expecting to be asked to be Vampire Queen of Great Britain when she's cycling home from school one wet Tuesday evening. Apparently, she is 'the Chosen One'. Aside from being uncomfortable with the idea of unelected power (not very democratic), there's the blood drinking to consider (Mo is a vegetarian), and frankly it's just not really the sort of role Mo's looking for (she wants to aim for a real job in politics). But - if you're Vampire Queen, you probably don't have to do PE any more, and when the dreamy Luca, a vampire familiar, turns up, it all suddenly starts to look a bit more appealing ...

Meet Mo Merrydrew - independent young woman, Mini Battenberg fan, president of the debating society - and reluctant vampire queen ... Mo Merrydrew, fifteen-year-old Vampire Queen of Great Britain, has found a way to have her cake and eat it (and that'll be a mini Battenberg, please). Becoming Vampire Queen wasn't the easiest of decisions, but she's settling into it quite happily, now that she has dreamy familiar Luca by her side, and she doesn't actually have to bite any humans. She now just has the ... er ... teeny-tiny task of finding a way to get all the vampires in the land to swear allegiance to her, and save them from the vampire hunters who are rapidly picking them off. Easy-peasy, eh? Throw in gorgeous Vanya, sent by the Vampire King of the East to keep an eye on Mo, unruly vampires hellbent on causing havoc and a dad with a dark secret, and that cake of Mo's starts to look distinctly less appetising ...

The perfect lighthearted summer read for 11 - 14 year olds Mo Merrydrew. Reluctant Vampire Queen. A human leader of vampires. Who would have thought it? Mo had always dreamed of being a leader, but never thought she'd be chosen to be the Vampire Queen of Great Britain. But Mo is in a slump - things haven't been going so well. Yes, the vampires she rules over have pledged their allegiance to her, and yes, there now seems to be a relative harmony between humans and vampires, but she's also managed to blow up the Vampire King himself, and lose her gorgeous boyfriend Luca. Frankly all she wants to do right now is sit on the sofa and eat cheesy puffs. She's had enough of being Vampire Queen. But when a high-profile celebrity is apparently attacked by a vampire, and the country is once again buzzing with rumours about vampires on the prowl, Mo is going to have to summon all her queenly strength to find a way to bring about a lasting peace between vampires and humans. If vegans can give up dairy, can't vampires ditch the blood? Looks like Mo's reign as Vampire Queen is far from over ...
