The first book in a bitingly brilliant and fangtastically feisty debut middle-grade series by New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron. Fans of The Breakfast Club Adventures, Goosebumps, and Stranger Things will devour this fun, thrilling, and heartfelt vampire adventure. In the world of the Vanquishers, vampires were history... until now.

Malika "Boog" Wilson and her best friends have grown up idolizing the Vanquishers, a group of heroic vampire hunters who wiped out the last horde of the undead decades ago. Nowadays, most people don't take even the most basic vampire precautions; the days of garlic wreaths and early curfews are long gone, but Boog's parents still follow the old rules, much to her embarrassment. When a friend goes missing, Boog isn't sure what to think. Could it be the school counselor, Mr. Rupert, who definitely seems to be hiding something? Or could it be something more dangerous? Boog is determined to save her friend, but is she ready to admit vampires might not be vanquished after all?

No one ever expected the Vanquishers to return, but if their town needs protection from the undead, Boog knows who to call...

The Vanquishers are back, and they're not happy about it. The vampire hunters who once saved the world from the undead menace are now facing a new threat: a group of young vampire hunters who are determined to finish what they started.

Led by Boog, a brave and resourceful girl who has always been fascinated by vampires, the Vanquishers must use all of their skills and knowledge to defeat the new threat. But they soon realize that the young hunters are not as inexperienced as they seem, and that they may have an advantage over the Vanquishers.

As the battle between the two groups intensifies, Boog and her friends must make difficult choices and face impossible odds. They must learn to trust each other and work together to save their town and the world from the vampire menace once and for all.

The Vanquishers is a thrilling and action-packed adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. With its unique blend of humor, suspense, and adventure, it is sure to be a hit with fans of all ages.
