Every full moon, it seems, a novel about nightstalking dental misfits turns up in our mailbox. Here's teen reviewer Hannah's take on Mari Mancusi's Boys That Bite, which came out in paperback last year.
A few months ago I reviewed Mari Mancussi's Stake That! I liked it alot,
and I was incredibly pumped to read its prequel, Boys That Bite. And it didn't dissapoint me--I couldn't put it down. Imagine being bit a week before prom by an incredibly gorgeous vampire (who was actually going for your twin sister). Hard to picture? Well, you honestly don't have to... you could just read this book! Because that's exactly what happens to our friend Summer, who's just trying to get through high school, and doesn't really need an aversion to sunlight on her plate. Mari Mancussi has done it again and I'm betting she'll do it at least one more time... I can't wait to read Girls That Growl!

we named a burger in their honor
they sat down for our pop quiz interview, bared their souls, and designed their own burgers for our honorary menu:
The E Lockhart Burger: a well-spiced veggie burger, topped with blue cheese, lettuce, dijon mustard and extra pickles. ("I am a vegetarian, Bookburger. Like Roo in The Boyfriend List.")
read the interview
The Ally Carter Burger: mayo and mustard. And lettuce, pickles, and swiss cheese. ("Okay now I’m hungry. This is all your fault!")
read the interview
The Kieran Scott Burger: American cheese, bacon, lots of ketchup, red onions and lettuce. ("Let no pickle touch my burger lest you wish to feel the full scope of my wrath!")
read the interview
The Rachel Cohn Burger: turkey burger ("preferably from Barney's in San Francisco") with red onion, tomato and mayo. ("Don't forget the fries.")
read the interviewThe Mo Willems Burger: Fresh and well-grounded ("like my daughter") with nothing on it.("I am deathly afraid of most condiments.")
read the interview
The Melissa Kantor Burger: Melted blue cheese with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on the side. ("with a complimentary pack of 'Trident Blue' so you could eat all the onions").
read the interviewThe Lisi Harrison Burger: A burger topped with Mac & Cheese and ketchup. ("Call it the Mac & Cheeseburger.")
read the interviewThe Laura Dave Burger: Cheddar cheese and barbeque sauce. Extra pickles. ("and please...hold the onions!")
read the interviewThe Stephenie Meyer Burger: another completely plain burger. ("I'm anti-condiments.")
read the interviewThe Janet Fitch Burger: a burger with a hole in the middle, stuffed with something dark, like olives. ("There's always a certain darkness at the center of my books.")
read the interviewThe Tanya Lee Stone Burger: medium rare with cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, and an onion ring. "Overdone thick-cut fries on the side, please."
read the interviewThe Maureen Johnson Burger: veggie burger with roasted red pepper, avocado, and Monterrey Jack. Pickles on the side. "And all the condiments in the house.
read the interviewThe Alice Hoffman Burger: "It should have everything, but hold the burger. (Unless it's soy)."
