In this companion to The Ink Drinker, the bookstore owner's son, with a literal thirst for reading, becomes lonely, entertaining thoughts of biting his fetchingly gothic new classmate. He soon finds out that she is the ideal person with whom to share "a straw for two." "Readers will get a kick out of Odilon's furtive nighttime escapades," said PW. Ages 8-12. (Jan.)
