When young Skeener's parents have to go to Europe for a while to take care of her sick great aunt in Romania, they leave her on a farm with an uncle she's never met - an uncle who not only doesn't seem to like her or have much to say, but who (for a "farmer") has a strangely white complexion . . . And, when Skeener starts to snoop around, what she finds doesn't make her feel any better! . . .
Left alone to fend for herself with an uncle she's never met - on a farm full of mysteries to solve (far from her Boston home) - Skeener is, at the same time, intrigued and terrified as she proceeds to discover the truth about her strangely palid "farmer" uncle who doesn't seem to sleep, skulks around at night, and seems to want nothing more than to get rid of her! . . . Will Skeener ever discover the truth about her mysterious uncle? . . . Will she survive her time alone with her Uncle Dracula!?
