Coming soon in 2011
Thirteen year old Wil Lowenstein can't help wishing his parents would stop ignoring him and go back
to the way they were before. Before, like before his older brother Graham died in a
recent accidental fire.
Wil copes with Graham's death by focusing on Zombie Tag, a mafia/capture the flag hybrid game he created for his friends. He, his best friend Anthony, and their other friends fight off brain-eating zombies with their mother's spatulas. What Wil doesn't tell anybody is that if he could bring his dead brother back as a zombie, he would. In a heartbeat. In fact, when he finds a bell that can summon all the dead within five miles, he seizes the chance. Graham returns from the dead, but he's not the same. None of the returned are. At first they're just emotionless, apathetic — lifeless. But then some of the zombies slowly start to get one emotion back — anger. And Wil is going to have to find a way to fix zombie-Graham and turn him back into the angsty teenager he?s supposed to be before it's too late. Because some of the zombies are banding together and plotting something. And Wil isn't sure his mom's spatulas are really going to do the trick if the zombies really do want to eat his brains.
Zombie Tag is Hannah Moskowitz's debut middle grade novel with
Roaring Book Press,
scheduled to be released December 20, 2011.
