Project Z

"Life as an undead fifth grader is pretty good for Arnold. He finally feels like he can embrace both his zombie side (unlimited jellybeans!) and his regular kid side (kickbutt trampoline moves!). And now there's a new zombie in town. Azalea, Arnold's closest friend from the Territory, is living with Evan's family. With Arnold acting as her guide to all things human, she's ready to try out fifth grade. But is Bernard J. Frumpstein Elementary School ready for her?"--Provided by publisher.

"A zombie escapee is recaptured by the top-secret government agency that created him. The smartest kid in the fifth grade, Arnold Z. Ombee (a zombie, obvi), uses his superintelligence to tutor a struggling classmate. Now Arnold is accepted--maybe even popular. But it's not just the cool kids who have their eye on him. Arnold catches an oddly familiar man spying on him and his human family, the Kinders. Soon after the encounter, the police inform Arnold's school that an 'undocumented fugitive' is in attendance. The man--a Dr. Grassmere--convinces Arnold's family to let him take Arnold back to the Territory for a week of testing. But the 'tests' serve a more sinister purpose: brainwashing Arnold and his 'fellow afterlifes' andturning them into superstrong zombie warriors! Will Arnold snap out of it and remember his human life? Or is it already too late?"--Provided by publisher.

"Undead and on the run! Arnold Z. Ombee has escaped a secret government lab that's developing zombies. Fortunately, he's found by the Kinders, a warmhearted human couple who are determined to help keep his zombie status under wraps. The Kinders decide Arnold will become part of their family. They help him disguise his zombie appearance and teach him how to act like a real human boy. After a lot of practice, he's ready for the ultimate test: Fifth grade!"--Provided by publisher.
