Dead Jed: Adventures of a Middle School Zombie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218492366)

Imagine what could happen if "Shaun of the Dead" met "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Jed's not your typical junior high geek. He is, to use the politically correct term, cardiovascularly challenged. Or, to be blunt, undead. A zombie. His parents long tried to overlook his differences, since Jed was a bright, active kid up to the time a limb came loose. But Jed learned who and what we was at a birthday party when he helped blow out the candles, shooting his lips into the cake as well. That prompted "The Talk," forcing Jed to accept his post-life condition as well as an emergency repair kit consisting of duct tape and staples to keep himself together. A bigger challenge surfaced as he entered 7th grade at Pine Hollow Middle School. He went by the name of Robbie, the supreme school bully and his pack of moronic toadies. From being thrown in trash cans to as "dead meat" to getting stuffed into a trophy case as the bully's "prize," Jed learned it wasn't easy being undead. It's only when Jed learns to embrace what he is, and accepts the help of his friends Luke and Anna, that he discovers he can use zombieness for some quality payback. It's awesome what you can do when you're already dead!
