Book Report Stuff

There are a few questions I get a lot from people doing book reports on Sucks to Be Me, so I thought I’d post answers in one handy spot. If you have any others, let me know!

Where does the story take place?

It’s set in California. The name of the town isn’t mentioned, but it’s a coastal one.

What are Mina’s parents named?

Bob and Marianne Hamilton

Who are the other main characters?

Mina (of course) :-)

Serena, her best friend

Nathan, a guy she has been crushing on since forever

Aubrey, an ultra hot guy in her vampire classes

George, another guy in her vampire classes

Uncle Mortie, Mina’s Great Uncle and her sponsor

Raven, a Goth girl vampire wannabe in her vampire classes

Josephine Riley aka Grandma Wolfington aka G.W., the teacher of the vampire classes

When is Mina’s birthday?

June 1st

What is Mina’s middle name?

This isn’t in the book, but her full name is Mina Marie Hamilton

What does Mina look like?

Mina is pretty tall (almost as tall as her dad) and thin. She’s got kind of curly, slightly unruly hair that is mostly brown, but with some reddish bits too (her mom has red hair). In book one, she’s got brown eyes.
