Middle School Monster: Caleb Miller, 7th Grader

Caleb Miller doesn’t understand why vampires are the heroes of so many stories, since the two eighth-grade vampires at his middle school cause this seventh grade troll nothing but trouble. The vampires have turned all his friends into zombies to help them search for an ancient Stone of Power that will allow its possessor to control the world. Caleb and his friend Josie, a water sprite, are the only two who know what’s really happening, but they can’t figure out how to stop it. Unfortunately, Caleb and Josie are in Skylark Middle School’s production of “A Christmas Carol” this year, along with Robbie and Bill, the vampires. The rest of the cast, including Caleb’s best human friend, John, have been turned into zombies. Now the Vampires are starting to notice that Caleb and Josie are starting to seem vary un-zombie like. On top of all this, his parents have volunteered to chaperone the Halloween Dance! “The play’s the thing”, as Caleb has to learn to trust himself and finds out that he is a very unusual troll, and there are more adventures to come.
