"There's something wrong with Miss Hunter."
With these 6 words, a group of adorkable middle schoolers are unknowingly initiated into an ancient vampire-hunting guild. But first, they must solve the mystery of the horrible Miss Hunter: the substitute teacher who sleeps in class, trips students with her cane, smells funny, and might just possibly be an undead, blood-sucking creature of the night.
Hunter the Horrible is filled with adventure and laughs, as well as vampire references from Graham to Bell and everyone in between. Children love it because of its playful writing style that includes baseball games, video games, sibling rivalry, and student(s) who get detention for acting like a cow. Adults love it for other reasons like its themes of inclusion and diversity. This entourage of vampire-busting boys and girls contains children not only of differing races and genders, but also one with ADHD, one with autism, and one who has grown up in the foster system. Also, in an age when most children's media portrays parents / teachers as being absent, unreasonable, or foolish, Hunter the Horrible features loving adults who assist the children in becoming heroes. This first book of the Hausman Guild series is sure to be a family favorite for many a year.

K.A. DaVur was born and raised in an extremely haunted house near the wild and wooded banks of Lake Michigan. She won her first writing competition at the age of six and has never looked back, filling a seemingly endless series of notebooks and journals with fantastical stories and even a poem or two. She next attended Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, the only university in the United States to boast no less than two former faculty members entombed under the steps of the administration building. Ms. DaVur has traveled extensively throughout the Midwest leading writing workshops based on that book at youth camps, elementary schools, and children’s museums. She currently resides in the woods of Indiana where she enjoys writing novels, working on her hobby farm and homeschooling her four miniature vampire stalkers.
