Book Description
The word 'philavery' was invented to describe this book - a collection of words chosen simply on the grounds of their aesthetic appeal. Some of these words appeal because of their aptness, some for their obscurity, some for their euphony, and some for their quirkiness.

Book Description
Sean is a sixteen-year-old vampire who just wants to finish high school. Blending in isn’t easy: two vampires in his group can’t stand him, he’s barely passing math, and Becky, the pretty cheerleader, smells a little too good to him. With the help of Hannah, the group leader and his best friend, he manages to fly under the radar and keep out of trouble. But when the junior class president is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the truce among Sean and his fellow vampires falls apart. As each person reveals a secret that could threaten their lives, Sean tries to control his hunger. Will he be able to turn over a new leaf, or will the temptation for Becky’s blood be too strong to overcome?
