A Taste for Red audio

A Taste for Red by Lewis Harris. Listening Library, 2009. (Narrated by Jaclyn Gaines)
Audience: Grades 5-6
My Rating: 1* of 5
Summary: Svetlana Grimm thinks she's a vampire and when her beautiful science teacher, Ms. Larch, begins reading her thoughts Svetlana wonders if Ms. Larch might be a vampire, too? But the thrill of finding another of her kind quickly vanishes when strange "accidents" start happening. Svetlana is always the intended victim, and her teacher is always nearby. So if she and Ms. Larch aren't allies, then that means...Sunny Hill Middle School is about to become a very dangerous place for Svetlana Grimm.

Comments: A poor reading of a poorly written story. I was only just curious enough about where the strange plot was going to finish.
