About This Book

The sharp crackle of fireballs lights up the smoky city streets as zombies shuffle closer, groaning and reaching out. Seb's heart pounds as the heavy metal soundtrack blares, mixing with the eerie silence of empty classrooms and abandoned playgrounds. Suddenly, the world he knows feels strange and scary — and it’s up to him to bring it back to life.
