Vampire High is a novel written by Douglas Rees in 2003. It was followed by the novel Vampire High: Sophomore Year in 2010.Cody Elliot is doing terribly in school; straight F's. His lawyer dad is sick of it, so Cody is forced to attend an alternative high school called Vlad Dracul Magnet School. His new classmates are creepy: they all wear sunglasses in winter, have pale skin and jet black hair, and they're all super smart. One kid shows Cody his fangs, and it becomes clear that all of his classmates are vampires. But they get offended if you use the word "vampire," so they call themselves "jenti" and the humans "gadje". Running water makes the jenti dissolve, so they need a few gadje to play water polo. Now, as long as Cody plays water polo, he's assured straight A's. But when Cody decides to get generous and donate some blood to his friend, the school becomes drastically changed.Although the plot is well-tread, the first book managed to be surprisingly heartfelt, earning several YA book awards. The main theme of finding one's place in an unwelcoming, alien environment, without caving to pressure and losing oneself in the process, spoke well to its audience—there may have been a happy ending, but it was hard-earned, and despite the fantastic elements, the characters and plot were entirely realistic. The sequel was...not nearly as good.Not related to the Canadian TV series of the same title. | |

Fantastic Racism: Humans and vampires generally don't trust each other. They generally try to ignore each other, though there's hints that things weren't so great in the past. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Justin goes from picked on weakling to respected, after he learns he's one of the few vampires who can submerge themselves in water without harm which in turn lets him figure out that he can transform into something a bit different than most of his classmates. | |

| Vampire High / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: These vampires can turn into wolves, they are mortals, and they can go in the sun. Definitely different. Certain ones also turn into otter-like creatures in water. These vampires are called selkies, and are speculated to be some genetic offshoot. | |

Amoral Attorney | |
| Vampire High / int_b5b3599d | comment |
Amoral Attorney: Zig-zagged. While Cody's lawyer father butts heads with him often, he's still a nice guy. At the end of the story, he tells the opposing water polo team that if they sue for the selkies playing (perfectly legal, as the selkies are students at the school), he will counter sue on their behalf, pro bono. This is enough to get them all to back down.. That said, he did uproot his family for the sake of his ambition, which both Cody and his mom comment on more than once. At the book's end, Cody matures enough to see past his dad's faults, while remaining painfully aware that they do exist, and may always. | |

Quote-to-Quote Combat: The school principal disapproves of Cody mingling with the jenti, quoting Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" at him: "Good fences make good neighbors." Cody retorts by pointing out that the poem also says, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall". | |
