Previously published under the title: YOU NEVER SEE FAT VAMPIRES!Some kids would risk almost anything to be thin and popular, but would you join the Midnight Diet Club?Esme is a slightly overweight teen-age girl who is hounded endlessly by three sinister bullies. In her quest to find acceptance she almost loses her soul in this funny, slightly scary, twist on vampire legends.1st Prize- Florida Writers Association Royal Palm LIterary Awards for Young Adult Fiction"Consider the current mania to be thin . . . especially among teenage girls. Splash in some humor. Carefully blend believable characters. Whip in a few "grossly fun" scenes. Then savor the deliciousness of The Midnight Diet Club. This twist on vampire legend just may leave you "thirsty" for more." -Millie Richmond Author of HILDY"This ghoulishly delicious tale is one that many of us have experienced either first hand or via word of mouth. And during Mark Newhouse's many years of creative teaching, I'm nearly positive he encountered bullying in its many disguises. He brings the age-old vampire legend into a contemporary creative context, from which lessons can be extrapolated by students that have been, are being, or will be bullied in one form or another. And even older adults can learn a lesson or two that may assist them in relationships with fellow employees or sadistic bosses."-Don Canaan (Author of two Liz Roberts psychological medical thrillers: "Alzheimer's: Dutiful Daughter" & "Dedicated Doctor or Baby Broker," as well as a true crime investigation: "Horror in Hocking County")

About the Author

The best way to describe me is as a big kid who loves writing for kids. I want to make them laugh, think and learn, but always with fun and mystery. My plots are crazy and make kids eager to turn the page. I guess they're pretty good because we've been winning some cool awards lately and I wake up in the morning and rush to the computer to create another monster for my kid heroes to beat. Can Esme defeat Dr. Ghoulash and Ignor Amos? What is the secret of her sinister bullies? Once you find out, take a chance on visiting Monstrovia and see what insane adventure Doofinch the Defender and Brodie are on. If you like my books, please consider adding your review and share my facebook page where you can win some special prizes. In their next case, The Case of the Disastrous Dragon, Doofinch the Defender, and Brodie must help a fire-breather or face disaster. So what else is new? Thank you for reading my books. Mark
