At that point, the bell rang and Miss Lemondrop had to shout over the noise.

“Break time!” she called. “Thank you, Vlad,” she said as the children ran out to the playground. “You certainly have a talent for bringing a story to life!”

“My cape!” cried Vlad, as Minxie grabbed him by the hand and dragged him out after the others.

“You don’t need it – look! It’s a lovely sunny day,” she said.

“I know,” Vlad said, sounding panicky. “That’s what I am worried about.”

Minxie stopped. “What?” she said.

“I – er … I have an allergy,” Vlad said, thinking quickly.

“An allergy to the sun?” said Minxie. Her eyes widened. “Really?”

“Yes – I might get burnt,” Vlad whispered, looking around to make sure no one else had heard. Would Minxie suspect something?

But she just nodded and said, “Of course! You’ve got really pale skin. Don’t worry, we can stay in the shade. Or I could go and ask for a hat and some sun block for you?”

Vlad didn’t know what sun block was. He glanced at the back of his hands to check his skin. Nothing had happened – he wasn’t burnt. Maybe his parents had been wrong?

“No, no, it’s OK. I don’t want to make a fuss,” he said. “Let’s just stay in the shade.”

“OK!” said Minxie. “But lots of people with pale skin worry about the sun, you know. Not just Transylvanians.” She looked at him a bit oddly when she said this, but then she added, “You were brilliant in class just now! So funny!”

“Really?” said Vlad. No one had ever said things like that to him before – not even Grandpa Gory.

Minxie was jumping and twirling. “YES!” she shouted, punching the air. “FUNNY AND BRILLIANT!”

Vlad grinned.

“Hey, you know what?” Minxie said, hanging from the climbing frame and pointing at Vlad. “I’ve just had the most AMAZING idea! You should audition for the school show. You’re dead good!” she said.

“Dead?” Vlad repeated, looking puzzled. “Zombies are dead – except they’re also kind of alive. At least, that’s what Grandpa says.”

Minxie laughed. “Your grandpa sounds awesome. I can’t believe you used to live in a castle! And you have a butler – no one has a BUTLER any more! Are you rich? Can I come to your house?”
