Kangaroo... a cute, cuddly animal, from the land down under, right? Except when it's not. Except when it's really a six-foot tall demon-monster from the land of the dead. Then it's not so cute and cuddly. And that's just one of Mikey's problems. Trying to figure out girls and dealing with bullies, deciding who you can and cannot trust and of course, helping out angry ghosts who need favors; and that's all before lunch. No one said Junior High would be easy, but it's even worse when you're back from the dead.

Mikey was having a perfectly good summer.... until he died. The doctors managed to save him from the great beyond, but as it turns out, dying really messes up your life. And since he came back, nothing has been the same. A dark and terrifying presence has followed Mikey from the other side, the meanest kid in school is doing his best to return him to the afterlife, the girl of his dreams and a girl he never dreamed of are vying for his attention, and every kid in school is calling him a Zombie. Being twelve is tough enough. It's even tougher when you're back from the dead!

All aspects of the zombie lifestyle are surveyed in this satirical take on an orientation manual for the newly undead. From how one became a zombie in the first place and the stages of zombification to survival mechanisms, this handbook offers specific advice on everything a fresh zombie needs to know about "life" expectancy, hunting techniques, hitching a ride, hand-to-mouth combat, and feeding etiquette. Instructions for extracting the living from boarded up farmhouses and broken down vehicles are included along with dozens of helpful diagrams outlining attack strategies such as the Ghoul Reach, the Flanking Zak, the Bite Hold, and the Aerial Fall for securing human prey and their all-important flesh and brains.

Zombie... That's what every kid in school calls Mikey since he died. But his problems are much worse than that. After he helped the ghost of Travis Cleveland Riley, an angry spirit who followed him back from the dead, Mikey thought he was all done with being haunted. He was wrong. A new and more terrifying presence has arrived. Now, with the help of his friends and Mrs. Grey, Mikey must figure out how to survive once again. As if that weren't bad enough, he also has to navigate his way through the baffling world of Jr. High. A bully who wants to beat him like a pinata, two girls who are vying for his attention and a mom who embarrasses him every chance she gets. Life shouldn't be that hard when you're back from the dead!"

The first in a funny, deliciously dark, three-part series of twisted classics, written in verse by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho and illustrated by Freya Hartas. A yellow moon hangs in a satin sky the night Cinderella, barefoot and in hand-me-downs, slips at the top of the stairs ... and dies. But not for long. The Shadow of Death arrives to breathe life back into her bones and, for three nights only, Cinderella goes forth as ZOMBIERELLA. With her skin as cold as ice and her faithful horse Lumpkin back by her side, can she seek revenge on her three cruel, fake sisters, once and for all? Crawl out of the grave and step into your mushroom carriage for this haunting and humorous adventure of the undead girl searching for her happily ever after.

In one indispensable volume, Matt Mogk, founder and head of the Zombie Research Society, busts popular myths and answers all your raging questions about the living dead.

Papa, Mama, and Baby Scare (a monster, mummy, and vampire) live together in a big haunted house. One night, as their alpha-bat soup cools down, they go out to walk their dog (a bloodhound, of course). While they're away, in walks the zombie Moldilocks, looking for food, a chair, and a bed that's just right. Kids will love this funny, surprising story!
