Good old childhood memories!
As I have come to an age in which I can freely purchase any books my heart desires, I find myself wanting to posses all the books that I loved as a child and teenager but weren't mine. On that inner search I kept going back to the Little Vampire series, which I continuously checked out from the library of my junior high school translated to Spanish. I was just fascinated by it, and a little bit obsessed. I must have read the five books available about ten times each. Now I'm craving to have them back between my arms, and read them a thousand times, but I find that they are very rare, and quite expensive, even after they have inspired a major family film. I think they should probably make a reprint of the series at a more reasonable price, so that today's children and teenagers can experience what I did seating on the floor of my school's library, reading these books from cover to end. and then reading them again and again. Just ordered the first book in both English and Spanish, and really hoping that, if I wait just a bit longer, the second book will be cheaper!

Great book
My daughter fell in love with the movie and she loves books so we just had to get this. Very funny.

Vamp finatic?
If so then you will love this movie I did and personaly I think there should be a sequal.

The Original Books of the Little Vampire are better
I from Germany and i got my first Little Vimpire Book from my Goodmother. I can just say it was one of the books of my life. And i have all the books from the story of the littel vampire. So I also bought that one wich i have to say it is allright butby fare not so good then the original once. Its still worth to buy and read it even when u r over 20 years or older u will love the stories of the littel Vampire

It's great to be a vampire!
The Little Vampire by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg and Nicholas Waller is the novelization of the movie of the same name (currently in theaters), which is based on the children's series by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg.

In this version of the story, elements that were not explored at great length in the film are able to be fleshed out more completely, giving the story a more well rounded feel.Also, there are several events which were excluded from the film altogether, including an ending with a shocking twist!

A nice touch also was how well Sommer-Bodenburg handled the changes between the characters as she created them and the way they were molded to fit the confines of the script.The vernacular of the book is a bit different from the film (which is a good thing), but it still suits the storyline very well.

If you or your children enjoyed the movie than this is a perfect extension which is sure to become a family favorite.If you haven't seen the film but are a big fan of Sommer-Bodenburg's series (or even if you just love vampires), then I highly suggest you give both the book and the movie a try.While it is true that the movie is quite different from the original books, the story that is told is still a good one (Sommer-Bodenburg herself says that they have "remained true to the spirit of my story"). ...

Read the Original it's always better!
In German, the Little Vampire series is wonderful, a story of friendship that is literally beyond the grave. I have not read the English translation, but can tell you the book as Sommer-Bodenburg wrote it is much better than the movie. Reading the children's literature of a country is a great window into the country itself, and also a great way to practice your German if you are rusty. ... Read more
