What is How not to be a vampire slayer about?

Eleven-year-old Maggie Helsby is hoping for a fresh start when her family moves to Goreway, but their new home sits beside the forbidden Skeleton Woods. Exploring the forest, Maggie discovers a hidden coven of vampires—and makes an unlikely friend in Sharptooth Shadow, a vegetarian vampire fascinated by humans. When Maggie learns she comes from a long line of vampire slayers, she must choose between an ancient family duty and protecting her new friend, the vampires and the forest from a ruthless mayor.
