Deadly Offer by Caroline B. Cooney

When Althea opens the shuttered attic, that she was told explicitly not to do, she discovers a vampire who promises to offer her popularity in exchange for victims.  What starts out as a good exchange quickly snowballs into understanding as Althea begins to realize the true consequences of her actions.  Will she choose to do the right thing or continue to appease the vampire in order to keep up the friends she so desperately craves?

This book has one brief mention of sex.  Past that, this book would be rated PG if made into a movie. 

Teacher Notes:

This book did creep me out just a bit! J  As with most Caroline B. Cooney books, this book is suitable for middle school kids and up.  As students read, they should pay attention to the text structure of the book (cause and effect).
