Maddy Swift is a typical junior at Barracuda Bay High. While sneaking out to meet her boyfriend, Maddy is struck by lightning and turned into a Zombie. Maddy never thought there might be “good†and “bad†Zombies, but she soon learns that two of her classmates are systematically killing members of her Home Economics class. To keep the evil Zombies from destroying everyone at Barracuda Bay High, Maddy joins forces with two Zombies who agree to teach her what she needs to know so she can “survive†and destroy those who want to kill her. Can Maddy achieve her goals before her “life†ends?
Dahlia Caruthers and her sidekick known only as Bones are Zerkers (evil Zombies) who live on the brains of humans. They target Maddy as their next victim. When Maddy becomes a Zombie, however, they decide to turn her evil like them. Maddy has other plans. If they cannot corrupt Maddy, Dahlia and Bones decide to destroy her. They do not care how many other humans they kill in order to accomplish their objective. Will they be successful in turning Maddy into a Zerker?
Chloe Kildare and Dane Fields protect Maddy while she learns what it means to be a Zombie. They take her under their wing and teach Maddy what she needs to know in order to survive. When Dahlia and Bones threaten Maddy, Chloe and Dane help her plan her defense. Can the three Zombies battle an army of Zerkers created by Dahlia and Bones or will the Zerkers take over Barracuda Bay and then the world?
The classic view of a Zombie is a vicious creature that wants nothing more than to eat the brains of humans. Rusty Fischer gives this genre a unique twist, giving Zombies real lives. Zombies are “alive†and well and living as the Goths next door. They go to school, have friends, and band together to fight the Zerkers who are threatening the human race. With a generous amount of humor, Mr. Fischer writes an action packed story guaranteed to keep the reader turning the pages of this book. Will Maddy and her friends be able to save Barracuda Bay?
