The third in a smash hit series of hilarious tales about primary school life from best-selling, award-winning creators! Packed with excellent black and white illustrations, this is the perfect longer read for newly confident readers.

Winner of the Children’s Book Award 2016

Nothing is quite as it seems for Izzy and her friends, and the drama is always off the scale!

Izzy and her friends have decided that their new head teacher is a vampire rat, based on his being slightly scary, having the blinds drawn in his office during the day and the fact he’s banned garlic bread at lunchtimes…

Now they just have to come up with a plan to VANQUISH him!

Have you read these brilliantly funny Izzy and friends adventures?

Praise for Izzy and friends:

""Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham’s zany pictures make the series an absolute must."" – The Bookseller

""Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers."" – Sunday Times

I thought it was brilliant and that it was so like there was a real vampire in their school! I think it is awesome and I recommend it to anyone at all.

It was quite fun and engaging for me to read it was slightly silly and had a hint of mystery and it's quite interesting to hear the proper reason at the end why he isn't a vampire rat

I recommend this to my friends and my favourite character is Mr.Graves and my favourite part of the book is when they are trying to find out that they are correct but they are wrong and they try to be correct because they want to find out he is actually a vampire rat and Mr Graves is not. I have restarted this book because I love it and I'm going to love it again but I want to make sure somebody else is going to read it.

The best part was when they made a picture of a snake for their headteacher Mr Graves who had a pet snake that was going to be given away.

I really enjoy this because I like how the main characters Think that something is going on with one of the teachers. When they got a new headteacher, he looked very creepy they thought that he was a vampire. they did some research on vampires and found out that they had a very bad allergy to garlic.They thought if they got the headteacher garlic muffin then he would have an allergic reaction and they could get rid of him because I didn't really like him. Then when they found out that vampires turn to dust in the sun. Then when they tried to make him go outside and his face went all red .They thought that his face was melting .Then when they talked to their teacher (Miss Jones) she said that he just had a really bad allergy to garlic.She said that when they thought the new headteacher ( Mr Graves) face was burning it was actually him having the reaction and that his face swelled up and got blisters.

I really enjoyed this book because there was allot of suspense ,and Izzy, Jodi, Zach and Maisie were so sure, that Mr Graves, was a Vampire Rat . Until Miss Jones said "He's just allergic to lots of things." This book are really funny and all the characters have a brilliant personality

I love it, my favourite part was how the children gave the headteacher a garlic cupcake, but instead of him suffering like a vampire he suffered because he was allergic.

It was interesting because the group thought that the new headteacher was a vampire and they did a test by giving him a garlic muffin because vampires repell to garlic.

My favourite character was Izzy because she was very brave and when Zach had a nose bleed in assembly she shouted at the top off her lungs "Run!". It was very funny.
