Synopsis
Two reluctant readers and mischievous middle schoolers get transported into Bram Stoker&’s vampire classic in this &“lighthearted spoof&” (Publishers Weekly). Devin and Frankie—short for Francine—may be the best of friends, but they aren&’t the best of students. After they&’re busted for not reading Bram Stoker&’s Dracula, their teacher sends them to the library to make amends by mending books. When they accidentally toss an ancient copy of the horror classic through the library&’s broken metal detector, a huge crack opens in the wall—and sucks Devin and Frankie right into the novel itself. Now these sarcastic sixth graders will need a few stakes, a lot of garlic, and a sharp sense of humor to defeat the bloodthirsty count. In this first book in Tony Abbott&’s Cracked Classics series, &“Devin and Frankie are wisecracking underachievers and their characterizations and dialogue ring true. Abbott adroitly blends the language in Stoker&’s tale with their conversations, resulting in laugh-out-loud scenes&” (School Library Journal).
