Summary:

Fourteen-year-old Jeff Allen, cancer survivor, is not sure which problem facing him is more troubling, dealing with a prosthetic leg or replacing the cell phones that were destroyed by the monsters his parents do not believe in; but when he offers to work at Mr Ogilvie's store (for a phone) he encounters the Nosferatu cell phones with a killer app--literally, because it causes people who use it to become raging lunatics with a vampiric thirst for blood.

Summary

Jeff Allen needs a new phone. But for a new phone, Jeff needs money and therefore a job. When he starts working at the new cell phone shop for Mr. Vlad, he thinks he's got it made. Soon, he notices things aren't quite right. The new phones come preloaded with a game, and everyone in town--including his friends--seem obsessed. But not normal-obsessed; they're Devils' Pass obsessed, which, in his town, often leads to very bad things. Jeff has to find what's causing the obsession and break the spell before the town and his friends succumb to the mortal danger in front of them.

Horn Book Review

This satisfactory hi-lo series introduces the middle schoolers of the Loyal Order of Helga, monster-fighters in small Devils' Pass, Minnesota. Each book focuses on a different creature as one member steps into the role of hero. Humor and legend combine in stories that focus as much on friendship as they do on monsters. Full-page black-and-white illustrations help readers envision both the horror and the humor. [Review covers these Devils' Pass titles: Evie Allen vs. the Quiz Bowl Zombies, Jeff Allen vs. the Time Suck Vampires, Tiffany Donovan vs. the Cookie Elves of Desctruction, and Zach Lopez vs. the Unicorns of Doom.] (c) Copyright 2019.
