12-year-old Jay finds a zombie living in his shed. Z is not half bad. He’s friendly. Has body parts that come off at random. Likes toenail clippings. He has a thing for Annabelle Wolkwitz, but messes that way up when he eats her pet pig.

And, oh yeah. He’s being hunted by a guy that calls himself the Priest.

Jay’s mom unwittingly invites Z to stay in their home and the best day of Z’s life—no kidding—is when he gets to start middle school.

Jay would rather eat brains.

It’s at school that Z realizes he’s being watched. And he has to do something about it before Jay’s family gets it in the heart too.

This hilarious chapter book will have any child rolling in laughter and cringing in equal measure. Happy hunting.
