This is a popular title in the Young Reading series, part of the Usborne Reading Programme. It is now re-issued in hardback with the audio CD in a wallet inside the back cover, making the book and CD easy to store together. It presents a terrifying tale of good and evil, in which the virtuous heroes must face the villainous vampire Count Dracula. It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a Principal Lecturer in education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University.
