<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Middle school is tough enough, but it's even worse when classmates include lifers (regular humans), nasty bloodsucking creatures called chupacabras, and zombies.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The difference being that this middle school novel is written entirely in Haiku. Loeb, its zombie protagonist has a problem: the object of his affection, Siobhan, is a lifer (i.e. human). What to do? In scenes set around a lunch table (the menu: brains) and around the school, eyes roll and jaws drop (literally). Also featured in the cast of characters is Carl, a chupacabra (bloodsucking critter) and Mrs. Fincher, a sympathetic and seductive librarian.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A funny, irreverent, and unconventional verse offering that's sure to find wide curricular appeal." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Gross-out humor and romantic tension enmesh in this clever novel told in haiku...a standout choice for reluctant readers." --<i>Publishers Weekly, STARRED review</i> <p/>"Middle school poetry geeks will enjoy this funny, irreverent novel in verse." --<i>Library Media Connection</i> <p/>"This intriguing book definitely has an audience-one that appreciates, quite literally, tongue-in-cheek humor." --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"The shuffle-and-stop rhythm of haiku is amusingly appropriate for the zombie narrator, and Holt's use of language is consistently clever and playful." --<i>SLJ Teen</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>K.A. Holt is a writer, a terrible cook, and a mother of three (not necessarily in that order). When she's not busy imagining how she would survive a zombie apocalypse, she's busy imagining how she will survive the day. Kirkus and Publishers Weekly praised her first book for children, MIKE STELLAR: NERVES OF STEEL, with words like precocious and complex, and savvy and sharp. <p/>GAHAN WILSON is an author, cartoonist, and illustrator. His work has appeared in THE NEW YORKER and COLLIER'S Weekly among other publications. He is a very prolific and celebrated illustrator.</p>
