“Whether you know it or not, this is the book about vampires you’ve been waiting for.” —Maureen Johnson, author of Suite Scarlett

“Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan have written the vampire book I needed in my life. I’m glad someone is finally dealing with these toothy freaks.” —Maureen Johnson, author of Devilish

Team Human is Team Awesome. I know that makes no sense, but I’m too excited to make sense. YOU NEED THIS BOOK.” —Maureen Johnson, author of Bermudez Triangle

“It’s fang-tastic! Get it? Get it? Okay, just read this. It’s the only vampire book you’ll ever need.” —Maureen Johnson, author of Girl At Sea

“You probably already think this book is going to be good. Let me tell you, it’s even better than what you are thinking. Read it now.” —Maureen Johnson, author of The Key to the Golden Firebird

“It’s like Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan got into my head and wrote the vampire book I didn’t even know I needed. Team Human completes me.” —Maureen Johnson, author of The Last Little Blue Envelope

“If you’ve ever shouted ‘What the [bleep] are you doing?’ at the pages of a vampire story (and I have), then Team Human is for you.” —Maureen Johnson, author of Scarlett Fever

“If you’ve ever considered the logistical problems of dating a vampire, then this book is definitely for you.” —Maureen Johnson, author of Uglies ((Truly. She ghost wrote it for Scott Westerfeld. Tell no one!))

“One of the funniest books I have ever read.” —Maureen Johnson, author of I Capture the Castle & I’m Not Giving it Back ((Yes, MJ wrote that unfairly suppressed unauthorised sequel to Dodi Smith’s I Capture the Castle. A work of genius you will never see. ))

“Funny, scary, touching, and thoughtful in ways you’d never expect.” —Maureen Johnson, author of The Master and Margarita ((Not really. Some Russian bloke wrote that. But if MJ had written it then she totally would have written it. Just would have been set in Philadelphia instead of Moscow and it would have been dogs not cats walking around smoking cigars. Or maybe dogs and cats. Also I think there would’ve been less nudity and hardly any thinly veiled references to Stalinist Russia. But more hijinks. And The Master and Margarita has a lot of hijinks.))
