Underdead By Liz Jasper Science teacher Jo Gartner thinks teaching geology to hormonal pre-teens is deadly...until she is bitten by an inept vampire and becomes Underdead all the problems of being a vampire, none of the perks. When she finds a body on her classroom floor with teeth marks in his neck, she must figure out whodunnit before her Underdead secret gets out. But she's running out of time. The detective in charge of the case is dogging her every move, her vampire traits are evolving in new and embarrassing ways, and someone wants Jo dead...the traditional way!

Eighth grade science teacher Jo Gartner is back after a deceptively quiet summer. No Vampires. No Cops. No murder investigation. Apart from the hormonal teens she has to deal with everyday and her sensitivity to sunlight everything seems, well, almost normal. She probably shouldn’t have volunteered to help the hot new teacher on campus with his Haunted House fundraiser. Because that’s just asking for the real vampires to show up… And the next thing she knows there’s a dead body. And the cops are back. And Jo is forced to decide which side she’s on, once and for all.
