“The Vampire with Braces” is Rhiannon Lotze’s first submission and publication. She is thirteen years old and lives with her family, paper and pencils.
Frank is a terrible vampire. He hugs instead of bites, cuddles his stuffed animals, and was born on Valentine's Day. But when the vampodontist delivers the ultimate humiliation—braces—Frank finally finds his own path out of the darkness and into the human world.
