Tor, New York, 1996.  ISBN 0-812-55366-7.  Soft cover, 87 pages.  Unread copy with light edge and cover wear, small light corner bends to wrap; pages lightly tanned.  RL: 5.5, ages 8-12.  ‘What a week.  It’s bad enough that fifth-grader Tracey Wilson is starting a brand new school where she doesn’t have any friends, her teacher is a grouch, and (gulp!) it looks like she just flunked her first math test.  But things get really weird when a scraggly cat jumps through the classroom window and talks to her.  It seems the cat has escaped from a vampire who wants him back – or else!  Tracey thinks she’s gone bonkers…until a creepy substitute teacher with funny teeth and long red fingernails takes over the fifth grade.  A teacher who looks a lot like a vampire!’ (from rear wrap)
