When you make a deal with a vampire, there's no chance to change your mind. Or is there?
Devnee is tired of being ignored. Tired of feeling ordinary. All she wants is to be beautiful. If she's beautiful, everything else will fall in to place: popularity, friendship, even love.
Devnee's family has just moved into a new house--a house with a vampire in it. He can grant Devnee's wish, but there's a price. Is she willing to pay it?
Caroline Cooney knew in sixth grade that she wanted to be a writer when "the best teacher I ever had in my life" made writing her main focus. "He used to rip off covers from The New Yorker and pass them around and make us write a short story on whichever cover we got. I started writing then and never stopped!" When her children were young, Caroline started writing books for young people -- with remarkable results. She began to sell stories to Seventeen magazine and soon after began writing books. Suspense novels are her favorites to read and write. "In a suspense novel, you can count on action." To keep her stories realistic, Caroline visits many schools outside of her area, learning more about teenagers all the time. She often organizes what she calls a "plotting game," in which students work together to create plots for stories. Caroline lives in Westbrook, Connecticut and when she's not writing she volunteers at a hospital, plays piano for the school musicals and daydreams! - Scholastic.com
