Little Vampire Goes to School

Little Vampire Goes to School (1999) is the story of a little Vampire who lives with his big family in an old villa. Because he is very lonely, he wants to go to a human school. But there he is in for a surprise, as the human children sleep at night. The living dead therefore organise a school for Little Vampire and other ghosts. The teacher is the Captain of the monsters. He tells the pupils not to write in the notebooks left at school by the day pupils, but Little Vampire disobeys him: he does his maths homework in the notebook of the boy in whose desk he sits. And as the living boy Marcel finds out the next day - without any mistakes at all. Through their shared notebook, Little Vampire and Marcel begin to correspond and eventually strike up a warm friendship. With a masterful blend of humour and tragedy and a clever switch between the creepy and the comical, the story cleverly raises themes such as loneliness, death, faith in God and the value of true friendship.
