Reviews
"Ever since my encounter with Draculink, the ink-drinking vampire, I've been drinking books like crazy," confesses Odilon, a bookstore owner's son with a literal thirst for reading. In The Ink Drinker, Sanvoisin and Matje's vampire spoof, Odilon suffered a bite on the arm from Draculink. Now, the boy cannot resist jamming a red-striped straw into books and sipping their thrilling adventures, which leaves their pages devoid of marks. "The hard part is that I can't share my straw with anyone," he laments. "I'm very lonely." Intending to ask Draculink if biting a girl would make her an inkdrinker like him, Odilon runs away in terror upon discovering a child-size casket in Draculink's cryptApresumably meant for him. Readers will soon suspect otherwise. As Odilon entertains thoughts of biting his fetchingly Gothic new classmate, Carmilla, Sanvoisin hints that she is no ordinary girl: she seems to have sucked the ink from Odilon's homework, and she heads for the cemetery when school's out. Matje styles Carmilla as a pale urchin in a black dress, the ideal person to share "a straw for two" with blond, bespectacled Odilon. This sequel's focus on amorous yearning could ward off a few of the first book's fans (adults will recognize a few sexual innuendoes), but most will get a kick out of Odilon's furtive nighttime escapades. Ages 8-12. (Sept.)
