I’m Summer Farley - just a normal girl – which around here makes me a total freakazoid. This is my first blog and, believe me, there’s LOTS to chat about when your dad suddenly gets a new job and you move to Transylvania! Like most girls my age, I go to school. Unlike most girls my age – my classmates are vampires, werewolves and zombies. ACTUAL zombies, not just people who’ve stayed up too late playing World of Warcraft.
Heidi’s my BZFF – Best Zombie Friend Forever – even if she is mega-cautious and always expects the worst to happen...as if it would! She’s supercool, she’ll zing you with some REALLY sarcastic put-downs if you’re not her friend - also if you are! - but I like that, and I’d be lost without her!
Bobby’s the nicest werewolf I know and he’s always offering to save me a spot in the lunch queue, carry my books, help me with homework and stuff. Last week I told him I love him like a brother and he was so happy, he cried! At least, I THINK that’s why he was crying...
Jake’s a fool. I mean. He can’t help it. He’s quite sweet and charming and a lot of people seem to like him but honestly, if it wasn’t for his BRILLIANT, CARING and utterly FANTASTIC big sister, he’d like totally be vampire food by now.P.S. He’s my brother.
Not every Dad moves his whole family to Transylvania to become ‘Assistant’ to a brain in a jar but not every dad’s an almost-brilliant scientist like ours! Dad loves us loads and I’m REALLY proud of him. Yes, he makes the occasional mistake but who HASN’T had a bad day and almost destroyed the universe?
Magda’s our housekeeper and she’s lovely, though a bit ‘hands-on’, always giving me Transylvanian relationship advice like ‘never kill on the first date’. She also does all our cleaning and cooking, so if it wasn’t for her I’d never have tasted ‘eye of newt ice cream’. I’m not bitter…unlike the ice cream.
