Mario Azzopardi’s book Vampir has been evaluated and has been classified as good for readers over 14, Education Minister Dolores Cristina said.

Replying to a parliamentary question by Labour MP Leo Brincat, Ms Cristina said the evaluation was carried out after the book was removed from some secondary school libraries.

She said that the group which carried out the evaluation also made recommendations on the classification of school library books and how books should be distributed for students to be better guided towards those that were suitable for them.
