Description

Baby Teeth: A Sapphic Vampire Verse Novel

A YA verse novel about LGBTQ+ desire, identity -- and vampires.

From the multi-award winning author of The Deepest Breath (Houghton Miffton Harcourt, 2021), a Junior Library Guild Selection.

The blood
Feeds the hunger
That threatens everything

It starts when Claudia offers her a yellow rose. Immy has been in love before - many times, across many lifetimes. But never as deeply, as intensely as this. The forbidden thirst for blood runs deep in Immy. And within her mind clamour the voices, of all the others she has been, their desires, and their wrongs.

Award-Winning Verse Fiction

Meg Grehan's The Deepest Breath won the Judges' Special Prize at the 2020 Children's Books Ireland Awards, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, and featured in the EmpathyLab Read for Empathy reading list. Named a Bank Street Best Children's Book of 2022 with Outstanding Merit and a Booklist Editors' Choice: Books for Youth, 2021. Grehan is rapidly emerging as the foremost young verse novelist in the UK and Ireland, having previously won the Eilís Dillon Award for debut book at the Children's Books Ireland Awards 2018.

About This Verse Novel

This paranormal romance explores forbidden love between two young women against the backdrop of vampire mythology. Written entirely in verse, the novel captures the intensity of first love while examining themes of identity, desire, and the weight of past lives.
