Tragedy hits the family of ten-year-old Vladimir Tod when both his parents are killed in a fire. Tod, now an orphan, is destined to live with his mother’s best friend Nelly. What is unusual about the situation is Tod’s mother was a human, but his father was a vampire. “Aunt Nelly” is O.K. with this and helps out when whenever she can. Vlad continually needs fresh blood. In order to serve this need, Aunt Nelly who is a nurse steals blood that will be thrown away at the hospital. Vlad’s best friend Henry also knows about his condition. Henry supports Vlad as he goes through this trying time.
Vlad, now thirteen, has still another tragedy happen to him. The one teacher he relates to has disappeared and another mysterious teacher has taken his place. Mr. Otis Otis seems to know things about Vlad and he is becoming suspicious. There is some connection between Mr. Otis and Vlad’s father, but Vlad is not sure what it is.
