“This unexpectedly fun book has enough zombie action and funny screenplays to keep readers hooked.”
Suzanne Costner, Librarian Netgalley Reviewer
“Karin Adams has created another winning story. Anyone who has ever tried to complete a group project knows how hard it can be to get everyone working together and giving their best effort. Add the pressure of competition for a class award, jealousy over attention from a cute girl, and other frustrations – and you have a situation ready to careen out of control… There is plenty of humor and very realistic scenes of school life, with classmates trying to ingratiate themselves with the viral dance star, issues over files on shared computers, body spray, and teasing about boyfriends and girlfriends.”
