Description
Meet Mo Merrydrew - independent young woman, Mini Battenburg fan, president of the history club - and reluctant vampire queen ....
Fifteen-year-old Mo Merrydrew isn't exactly expecting to be asked to be Vampire Queen of Great Britain when she's cycling home from school one wet Tuesday evening. Apparently, she is 'the Chosen One'. Aside from being uncomfortable with the idea of unelected power (not very democratic), there's the blood drinking to consider (Mo is a vegetarian), and frankly it's just not really the sort of role Mo's looking for (she wants to aim for a real job in politics). But - if you're Vampire Queen, you probably don't have to do PE any more, and when the dreamy Luca, a vampire familiar, turns up, it all suddenly starts to look a bit more appealing ...

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Reluctant Vampire Queen by Jo Simmons offers a pitch-perfect voice in a hilarious comedy of errors, providing a fresh twist on the vampire genre for younger teens. Reviews highlight its engaging blend of action, suspense, and comedy, with a rom-com element and a creative mix of Gothic horror woven into teenage life and friendships. The story of 15-year-old Mo, unexpectedly proclaimed Vampire Queen, is compared to a supernatural version of Geek Girl, making it a brilliant read for young teenagers.
