For thirteen-year-old Frankie Sopravvissuto, living in small-town suburbia as an adolescent boy is a drag. He's not only tall, gangly, and a zit magnet, but he also can't seem to fit in with the rest of the overachievers at school. Frankie would much rather draw in his sketchpad or play video games, even though neither of those activities will get Taylor-his pretty cheerleader classmate and long-time crush-to notice him. Then news reports surface of a quickly spreading and bizarre pandemic. Frankie's parents are worried, but he's convinced it's fake news. A disease that transforms humans into violent flesh-eating monsters? That's absurd. Zombies belong in horror movies; they're not real. Except that they are, as Frankie is shocked to discover. While he's busy preparing for a trip to his grandmother's-including an epic battle with one of her ill-fitting handmade sweaters-all hell breaks loose. Before he knows it, the neighborhood turns into bloody war zone. The violent and hungry zombies are quickly taking over, and within minutes, Frankie's boring, ordinary life is gone forever. And so are his parents. He's left to face the nightmare alone and must quickly learn to survive or else he'll be next.
