Raven has no real friends except for Becky, a timid farm girl who lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Now the only goth girl in a town dubbed Dullsville, Raven is still a social outcast who enjoys horror movies, black lipstick, and pushing her parents to the edge. Now sixteen, Raven is still the outcast that she found herself to be when she proclaimed her life's ambition was to be a vampire. All of that changed, though, when two things happened-her mother dared to give birth to a brother, endearingly termed Nerd Boy, and they forced her to go to school, every day. Raven's first years were spent surrounded by lava lamps and glow-in-the-dark posters, with her parents playing games with her, eating junk food, and watching old horror films on the small black and white television. When Raven came along, they became slightly less hippie, in that they moved into an apartment instead of living in their Volkswagon van. Raven's parents, Sarah and Paul, were typical hippies who spent their early years together waxing poetic about love and the music of the Grateful Dead. While the teacher was asking her young students what they wanted to be when they grew up and getting the typical responses of nurse, fire fighter, and football player, young Raven answered the question the only way she knew how-she wanted to grow up to be a vampire. Sixteen-year old Raven Madison started her obsession with the dark side in kindergarten. Vampire kisses series by Ellen Schreiber to movie
