Serwa Boateng’s Guide to Vampire Hunting by Roseanne A. Brown

Paperback – Disney Hyperion (Rick Riordan Presents) – Aug 2023 – 386 pages

For most kids, catching fireflies is a fun summer activity. For twelve-year-old Serwa Boateng, it’s a matter of life and death. That’s because she knows some fireflies are really adze, shapeshifting vampires from the forests of southeastern Ghana. For generations, a secret society of Slayers like Serwa and her parents have protected the world from their threats.

But when a group adze led by a powerful witch destorys her home, do Serwa’s parents take her with them on their quest to defeat her? No. They dump Serwa with her aunt in the middles of Nowheresville, Maryland. Now, instead of crossbows and battle armor, she’s dealing with mean girls and algebra.

Just as Serwa starts to get the hang of being a “normal” kid, an adze infiltrated her school. It’s up to her to assemble a team of her classmates and get them into monster-fighting shape before they all become firefly food. Because seventh grade is hard enough without throwing vampires into the mix.
