Description
Every year in Vampire Creek there is an initiation ball for adolescent bats who have not yet tasted human blood. Hilda, a vegetarian, is blissfully ignorant of the purpose of the ball.
Devoted to her lentils, Hilda lives with her curmudgeonly maid Matilda and her cynical cat, Wiglaf, and has no idea what her fangs are for. She attends the ball dressed in white when it is compulsory to wear red, and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Hilda doesn’t care: she has secured Handsome Harry as her beau, the catch of the creek. She has turned her friend and arch-rival Adelaide green with envy.
But Hilda has offended Queen Gwendolyn and her husband Mad King Ludo the Bonny by not wearing red to the ball.
What fate will befall her?

Such a cute read that reminded me of Neil Patrick Harris’ style of writing. The story is adorable and I didn’t want it to end.

What do you do when you're a bat, a vegetarian bat. This is Hilda, greatly enjoying her delicious veggies. Little does she know is that during the grand ball all young bats have to drink blood! Ugh! What will Hilda do? This is a great, and fun book to read. Cleverly written!
