''Dangerous Girls'' is the first novel in the ''Dangerous Girls'' series by R. L. Stine. First published in 2003, the novel was followed by a sequel, ''The Taste of Night'', in 2004. ''Dangerous Girls'' has won awards, including the ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers and the New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age. In the novel, Renz, a vampire, bites Destiny Weller at Camp Blue Moon. Afterwards, she and her twin sister Livvy return home in Dark Springs with a craving for blood. Destiny's father cures Destiny, but is unable to cure Livvy, who, together with Ross, changes into a blackbird and flies off into the sky. == Background == At the time of publication, R. L. Stine was 59 years old and had already authored over 330 books for children and young adults, including the ''Fear Street'' and ''Goosebumps'' series of books. Published in the 1990s, both his ''Fear Street'' series, which was oriented towards young adults, and his ''Goosebumps'' series, oriented towards children, were successful, with the ''Goosebumps'' series selling more than 300 million books. Stine had both series on hiatus while writing other novels. Living in New York City, Stine recalls walking a dog in a park, when the title for the novel flashed into his mind. He says he started thinking of what the 'Dangerous Girls' would be, thought of vampires, and "sort of went from there." Stine was excited about the book as it gave him the chance to write for teenagers again. Stine did research to follow existing vampire lore but admitted to adding "good vampires" who would restore victims. ''Dangerous Girls'' was first published in 2003 by HarperCollins Publishers in hardcover. On August 31, 2010, it was published together with its sequel in the book ''Bitten''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dangerous Girls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
