After falling from a fabulous cheer pyramid, Karen discovers she’s
freakishly alive without a pulse. Genetically undead zombies like herself
must go to a special boarding school called DEAD High. If chowing
down on animal brains every day isn’t bad enough, there’s someone
attacking students and harvesting their brains.
“The heroine’s breezy narrative voice is authentic and often funny, and her protracted
crush on a fellow student will appeal to romance fans.” —Kirkus Reviews

Math whiz Rhonda Lee could have swore she had nothing in common
with the popular Sarah Gamble—until Sarah’s symptoms remind
Rhonda of her own painful experience with an unwanted pregnancy.
“The author spins a believable, wrenching, and ultimately heartwarming story
without minimizing the complexity and drama of the ‘issue’ part of the narrative.”
—EdgeoftheForest.com
“ . . . there’s wry humor here, and the sometimes raw dialogue is well done.
What’s most interesting, though, is the way Rhonda tries to get beyond her past
as she channels her anger and pain into numbers and theorems.” —Booklist
