Waiting on Wednesday (28)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. :D

Today's pick (it's a non-Tenner one. GASP!):


Never Slow Dance With a Zombie by E. Van Lowe

description from amazon:

Romy and Michelle's Hight School Reunion
meets Night of the Living Dead in this laugh-out-loud debut YA novel by Emmy Award-nominated TV writer E. Van Lowe

Principal Taft's 3 Simple Rules for Surviving a Zombie Uprising:

Rule #1: While in the halls, walk slowly and wear a vacant expression on your face. Zombies won't attack other zombies.

Rule #2: Never travel alone. Move in packs. Follow the crowd. Zombies detest blatant displays of individuality.

Rule #3: If a zombie should attack, do not run. Instead, throw raw steak at to him. Zombies love raw meat. This display of kindness will go a long way.

On the night of her middle school graduation, Margot Jean Johnson wrote a high school manifesto detailing her goals for what she was sure would be a most excellent high school career. She and her best friend, Sybil, would be popular and, most important, have boyfriends. Three years later, they haven't accomplished a thing!

Then Margot and Sybil arrive at school one day to find that most of the student body has been turned into flesh-eating zombies. When kooky Principal Taft asks the girls to coexist with the zombies until the end of the semester, they realize that this is the perfect opportunity to live out their high school dreams. All they have to do is stay alive....

OH. MY. GOSH.

Doesn't this sound like the most ridiculously amazing book EVER? I have no idea how on earth anyone at the school got turned into zombies, but I MUST KNOW!

Also: ZOMBIES!

Zombies are the best.

TEAM ZOMBIE FOREVER!

And this book is a PAPERBACK! Gooooo paperbacks!

Same here. It sounds creepy, on the other hand, fun as hell.

It does sound amazing. Definitely check out the author's site/blog. There is a contest somewhere for a Zombie Love t-shirt. They are rad. I have one.

I guess it's the Team Unicorn in me, but I really just hate this cover. Sounds like it will be a fun read though.

Sara said...

Korianne: I don't like cover that much either... or the model or something.

Otherwise this book sounds sweet!
