A descendant of legendary vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, fourteen-year-old Alex is stuck at boarding school near Lake Geneva, Switzerland, when he finds himself drawn into a web of paranormal intrigue. It turns out that Lake Geneva is also home to a secret school for vampires called the Scholomance-and now to a dangerous vampire clan lord known only as Icemaker, who's using the Scholomance for his own dangerous endgame. With the help of his friends and special agent Sangster, it's up to Alex to fulfill his family destiny and stop Icemaker's frightening plans once and for all.

Alex Van Helsing is a showstopping hero set to leap off the page-stake, naturally, in hand. Drawing from centuries of actual vampire lore and literature (and with a nod to zombies, too!), Jason Henderson delivers a breathlessly paced thriller that will captivate vampire fans as well as readers who loved Alex Rider. Read the book that School Library Journal called "James Bond meets Dracula" in a starred review!
