Bloomsbury presents The Vanquishers by Kalynn Bayron, read by Ecstasia Sanders.
In the world of the Vanquishers, vampires were history . . . until now.
"A sharp vampire tale full of bite, heart, and humor." —Rena Barron, author of the Maya and the Rising Dark series
"Boog and her friends will capture your heart in an instant." —Mark Oshiro, author of The Insiders
Malika “Boog” Wilson and her best friends have grown up idolizing The Vanquishers, a group of heroic vampire hunters who wiped out the last horde of the undead decades ago. Nowadays, most people don't take even the most basic vampire precautions—the days of garlic wreaths and early curfews long gone—but Boog’s parents still follow the old rules, much to her embarrassment.
When a friend goes missing, Boog isn't sure what to think. Could it be the school counselor, Mr. Rupert, who definitely seems to be hiding something? Or could it be something more dangerous? Boog is determined to save her friend, but is she ready to admit vampires might not be vanquished after all?
No one ever expected the Vanquishers to return, but if their town needs protection from the undead, Boog knows who to call.
Inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Watchmen, this adventure launches listeners into an exciting new series.

Gripping story

The author captured the essence of children around age 10, though I think the kids are supposed to be older.
I think that this novel would have been much better as a short story. There’s a lot of what feels to me like padding. The book is over half-finished before there is a vampire. Before that, there was some meandering and odd authorial choices.
After there’s a vampire, the children become stupid and there’s a lot of repetition of things that don’t really need to have been said once, especially given that these children have parents experienced with vampiric lore.
I really want to like this book. For example, the author did a good job of including characters who aren’t white. I’m especially impressed with how well the author presented a non-binary, main character.
But overall, the book was very frustrating to me and a bit dull because of the endless padding and repetition of things the children have already said.
I have a hunch that a child around age 10 or who has a strong interest in gender inclusivity might not mind these things so much.
Excellent inclusivity, but I found the book dull
