The Vanquishers

Ages 8 to 11

New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron brings readers the world of the Vanquishers, where vampires were history . . . until now.

Twelve-year-old Malika “Boog” Wilson and her best friends have grown up idolizing the Vanquishers, a group of masked vampire hunters who wiped out the last horde of the undead decades ago. Today, most people don’t take even the most basic vampire precautions, but Boog’s parents still follow the old rules.

But when a friend goes missing, Boog and her friends suspect a vampire was involved, and Boog is convinced their school counselor, Mr. Rupert, is hiding something. No one ever expected the Vanquishers to return, but if their town needs protection from the undead, they know who to call.

Inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Watchmen, this middle grade adventure will launch readers into a new world of vampire hunters.
