**About the BUMP IN THE NIGHT Series**

What do you get when Frank the class frog meets disaster on a weekend stay with a science-savy student? Frogenstein of course!

And what do you get when you cross a 6-foot neck with vampire bats? A vampire giraffe with-- what else? -- a sweet tooth.

Little ghosts and goblins love scary stories. The BUMP IN THE NIGHT Series puts silly twists on classic favorites sure to bring smiles (not screams!).

BUMP IN THE NIGHT monsters are a Halloween treat.

_"Tuchman draws the gangly protagonist with a googly eyed energy that should amuse readers through the numerous sugar-driven scrapes."_ \--_Publishers Weekly_

### Back Jacket

_Having the longest neck in the zoo gives a giraffe certain advantages._

Grab a bite with Giracula, a newly-turned vampire with a penchant for pies.
