Solomon Macaroni and the Cousin Catastrophe

Solomon Macaroni is the sweetest vampire you've ever met. Can he survive one hundred years staying with his naughty prankster cousins? You've never met a vampire like Solomon Macaroni before - he's friendly, polite and makes a mean tofu Bolognese. Understandably, when his parents go on a one-hundred-year cruise without him, Solomon is not impressed. Especially because it means having to stay in creepy Transylvania with his six cousins, who are the rudest and naughtiest vampires in existence. (Well, apart from Lucy. He likes her.) Not even his uncle, Count Dracula, the oldest vampire in the world, can stop their pranks. Solomon wishes he could spend the next hundred years alone at his own house with his spider friend, Fred, instead. But when his cousins venture into the spooky Wildwood on a dangerous mission, Solomon - against his better judgement - agrees to help Lucy rescue them. At least, that's what he thinks he's doing. In the forest, Solomon must draw on all he knows - about old magic, wet wipes and the importance of a well-timed entrance - to save his catastrophic cousins and possibly the world.
