Niles, they choose Transylvania, of course. When AJ and Nia are paired up to do a geography report for new teacher and British import Mr. AJ, with the help of his fifteen-year-old-sister BB's bookshelves, starts immersing himself in the world of vampires and even begins to try passing himself off as one, wearing sunglasses all day and smearing fake blood on his gums. AJ also happens to have a crush on fellow book lover, Nia, (it's so much fun to read the titles of the books Gardner invents for her to be reading as well as the made up characters and plots we get glimpses of) who also happens to fancy herself a vampire hunter. Set in Portland, Oregon, AJ feels unremarkable after spending the summer before sixth grade reading in the library instead of doing adventurous, exciting things like his best friends, the ultra competitive Hunter and Ivy, who are always trying to one-up each other.
