When Alex Vambarey attends his first year at the Carpathian Academy, he has no idea that there are other creatures besides vampires. He's never met a gargoyle, or a pixie for that matter. Of course he's read about them -- in the Vampedia -- but in real life? No way. But now everyone's trying to figure out the Magus riddle and win the school prize. Even the Brownies are all befuddled! (new paragraph) Well, maybe it's natural. It's his first term, and there are all sorts of things that don't make any sense. Like all the janitors collecting dirt. That's just plain weird. No, there was definitely something bigger going on. Way bigger. And if he was right, the secret was somewhere in the Night Gallery. The secret about Carpathia, and the secret about himself!

After reading this description, I was very excited to find a book about mystical creatures and vampires for young boys. When I was in high school every girl I knew was reading the Twilight Series and boys (even those who were interested in reading them) would have been ostracized. As an adult I have met maybe two males who have read the series or even watched the movies, but several who say they would because they are afraid of the social aspects. I think that this book with a male main character would be the socially acceptable way for boys to read something they are interested in and be able to talk about with other boys about.
