Blurb:
Nothing brings the family together like a
zombie apocalypse …
Fifteen-year-old Jeremy Barnes would rather
watch a zombie movie than shoot a real one, but he has no choice if his family
wants to survive the end of the world. Their plan? Drive across the infected
United States to a cabin in the Colorado Rockies without a scratch, but their
trip takes a complicated detour in the middle of Nebraska when they find
Kaylynn, a girl who can handle a baseball bat better than Jeremy can hold a .45
Berretta. And when they stumble into a sanctuary, Jeremy soon learns that
Kaylynn is stronger than she looks—a deadly secret lies inside her.
After the radio picks up a distress call
from Kansas City about a possible cure, Jeremy’s parents go with a team to
investigate. They never return. The only way to find their parents is for Jeremy
and his sister Jewel to rely on a dangerous girl who might just turn on them at
any moment.
