The Undertakers: Rise of the Corpses

Book excerpt: Engaging from the very first page, Ty Drago's thrilling children's debut has heart, it has humor, and it has straight up, gross-out horror. "On a sunny Wednesday morning in October, a day that would mark the end of one life and the beginning of another, I found out my grouchy next door neighbor was the walking dead. When you turn around expecting to see something familiar, and instead see something else altogether, it takes a little while for your brain to catch up with your eyes. I call it the 'Holy Crap Factor.'" Forced to flee his home and family, twelve-year-old Will Ritter falls in with the Undertakers—a rag-tag army of teenage resistance fighters who've banded together to battle the Corpses. Praise for Ty Drago: "...The author hardly sets a foot or a word wrong."—Publishers Weekly "More, if you please, Mr. Drago."—Booklist
