Just because the mime couldn't talk, that didn't mean I had to keep silent. Whatever I was doing, I yelled it out in a totally obvious way. I'm trapped in an invisible box! I'm walking against the wind. I have to carry this really heavy box.

I had the sort of face that adults think is cute. It got me out of a lot of trouble. It was amazing the things I could get away with just by flashing a smile. I'm pretty sure the mime didn't think I was cute. I kept waiting for him to get angry, but he didn't react to me at all for a while. Finally, after another half an hour or so of getting mocked and laughed at, his shoulders slumped and he walked away from city hall.

I followed him down the street. Sure enough, when he reached the next block, he put down his hat and started miming again. So I started mocking again. I don't know why he though a new location would make a difference. He tried moving again, a while later. And I followed him again. Nobody had given him a dime the whole time I was making fun of him.

I promised myself I'd do this for as long as it took to get rid of him forever. I really hated mimes, and couldn't imagine why anyone would chose to spend his days like that. Go annoy some other people. But he obviously had no idea when to quit. I was getting tired and hungry. It was already past dinner time.

And it was growing dark. I figured he'd give up sooner or later. Eventually, we reached the old bus station. It had been closed down last year after they built the new one, so there was nobody going past us. Nobody had any reason to be here. Even so, the mime kept doing his mime routine. The street lights flickered on.

There wasn't a single person in sight beside the mime and me. A slight tremor of fear rippled through my gut when I realized we were alone. But I was pretty big for my age, and I was a good runner. This is my first experience with the "Weenies" books, but I am now officially a fan! The stories were all very clever, and could easily be read aloud in a classroom, or enjoyed individually by tweens, teens and adults alike.

I look forward to picking up more of Lubar's creations! The book is a collection of weird and scary-ish short stories. The rest of his family thinks the game is great. When his mom announces they can play even longer Stephen wonders how much more he can take!

I am not a huge fan of horror or scary stories so I may not be the best person to review this book. I do like Mr. I think kids who do like horror stories would really like the book.

I was very surprised to find I had won it and promised her I'd read it first and then if it was okay I'd let her read it to her little sister.

I read it and found myself back at summercamp, and camping with my extended family at the yearly reunions, listening to the older cousins and friends tell stories around the campfire. These short stories are surprisingly fresh , and usually have a twist at the end. I love the way mr. Lubar comes up wuth his stories, and the way he puts them to paper. I am now going to lend the book too Chelsea and Karen for their camping trip this week-end, and then to my other grandkids to read.

I think these will easily become family favorites this school vacation. Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to win the arc of Attack of the Vampire Weenies. View all 3 comments.

Most of the stories are creepy, but some are more sci-fi, fantasy, ironic, or moral tales. The target audience is probably kids who are about years old, although older kids and adults can certainly enjoy it too and parents of young kids may want to read it first to make sure it won't be too scary.

The stories aren't exactly bloody or gorey, but there definitely is I won this book for free in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway. The stories aren't exactly bloody or gorey, but there definitely is creepy stuff vampires, killer ants, ghosts, etc. Parents should also be aware that while the badly behaved kids often get punished usually severely for their bad behavior, well behaved or curious kids don't always escape bad things either.

Nov 08, Kendra rated it liked it. The weenie story collection books are super popular, and I can certainly understand why. Lubar's oddball sense of humor appeals to many young teens and tweens, especially boys. As with any story collection, there were some stories I liked much more than others. I loved the ones where humor was the star, like the story about the Geography Bee -- so clever to have the boy who doesn't know the answers get them right with his "Oh, man" or "No way"! I wouldn't say any of the stories were particul The weenie story collection books are super popular, and I can certainly understand why.

I wouldn't say any of the stories were particularly scary, but some were definitely creepy. Especially if the story featured one of your phobias, like spiders or snakes. Some were just plain silly, but in a fun way. I didn't find the collection particularly memorable, but I don't hate it either. May 18, Terri rated it really liked it Shelves: Attack of the Vampire Weenies and Other Warped and Creepy Tales by David Lubar is a fantastic collection of short stories looking at the weird, creepy, and sometimes morbid.

The book is custom made for middle-grade kids that love to read something out of the ordinary. Some of the stories may be a bit creepy for kids that are easily scared or creeped out.

But for many, this book would be fantastic for sleepovers, camping trips, or any other large gathering of older children. Some of my personal f Attack of the Vampire Weenies and Other Warped and Creepy Tales by David Lubar is a fantastic collection of short stories looking at the weird, creepy, and sometimes morbid. I can't wait until my nephews are a little older so I can share this book with them. May 18, Alisa Hedden rated it really liked it. For lovers of very short stories with a dark and twisted view, this is the book for you.

If you prefer books with flowers, butterflies and cute puppies then you want to look elsewhere. Do not read this if you are prone to nightmares, walking in your sleep and you might want to hide it from your kid brother or sister a For lovers of very short stories with a dark and twisted view, this is the book for you. Do not read this if you are prone to nightmares, walking in your sleep and you might want to hide it from your kid brother or sister and even your parents.

It might be too scary for them. But you can handle it.

I know you can. I received this book as a first reads to do a review on. This is a fun book of very short and mildly scary stories for young grade school kids. They're too brief to really scare your children, but many do insinuate terrible consequences for the main characters in each. What I like about this book is that there is usually some simple and subtle lesson as well, usually that mean people will suffer.

You never see a nice kid getting attacked by monsters, it's always someone being cruel or taking advantage of someone else. And since they're not too intense, This is a fun book of very short and mildly scary stories for young grade school kids. And since they're not too intense, they're a good measure of whether your kids will be able to handle something a little scarier in the near future. Oct 16, Kelii rated it it was amazing.

It was just like all the other weenie books: The first story about the mime who actually was a vampire is the most shocking story in the world. The boy was copying the mime's moves and when the mime got tired of it he bit the boy's neck in front of a huge crowd and his best friend. The most funniest part was when the boy copied the mime when he shook his butt. Jun 23, Scott Collins rated it really liked it Shelves: I got this book as a Goodreads giveaway. I'd originally thought to get it for my son to read, but after the first couple of stories I stopped.

Not appropriate for him. But, I continued reading myself and very much enjoyed the stories. This collection of shorts is well written and imaginative. I look forward to reading more of Mr Lubar's books in the future. Oct 20, Edward Ledesma rated it liked it. I recommend this book to people who like scary and funny stories. The books are about these scary story's in one book.

I liked it I think it would have been better if in some stories they'd tell us what happened at the end. Over all it was a pretty good story for kids. Sep 12, Matthew rated it really liked it Shelves: I have the books. Every one has lots of story's about people who do something bad, then something really bad happens to them. But it's kind of funny because sometimes when something bad happens to them, it is funny and it is informational, like when they refer to something back in time.

Jul 13, Allison rated it really liked it Shelves: Nov 17, Isobel rated it really liked it. My thought about it was okay I thought it would be much better. We read it in library in 6th grade so that is why I said I read it. Dec 12, Kathy Davie rated it really liked it Shelves: Thirty-three shortand I do mean shorttales about the creepy and unexpected. Be warned, almost all of these stories have seriously creepy endings. My Take It's a little bit R.

Stine and a little bit Roald Dahl. I think these could be great stories to read aloud with your kids and then talk about the weird thoughts they have. Encourage them to expand upon what crazy ideas they've had.
