  Winner of The FCGB Children's Book Award 2016.
  The third zippy and zany tale by Pamela Butchart sees Izzy and her friends plunged into more primary-school craziness. This time, they decide 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.
  'The book is as accessible as it is hilarious, with entertaining line drawings from Thomas Flintham and easy-to-read prose that cleverly sneaks in the odd tricky word.' - The Independent
  'The new head teacher at Izzy's school must be a vampire! After all, he wears a cape, hates garlic and turns bright red in the sunlight. Izzy and her friends set out to uncover the truth as their imaginations get the better of them in this very funny story' - The Federation of Children's Book Groups
