They just don't make YA like they did in the 20th century. I love 21st century YA, too, but there's something just so earnest/innocent about the earlier years of the genre. Carolyn lives with twin sister, brother, parents, and uncle Toddy. Her sister is away at school in Boston and doesn't seem to be coming back. It's a depressed household, except for Toddy, who never seems to age.
Carolyn is sure he's a vampire. Honey seems to be on the fence and refuses to discuss it. Because she's getting her blood sucked every night, Carolyn is starting to do less well in school, and her personal relationships are suffering. Luckily, one teacher takes an interest, and helps Carolyn share her secret...which isn't what she thinks it is.

Ms. Johnson's eyes try to enter mine, but I've locked them. Then I throw away the key. then I forget that the key existed. The I forget that I forgot.
