Reluctant Reader
Middle school can be pretty hard, but what if you're a zombie who goes to a school with other zombies, the living, and chupacabras? Loeb, a zombie, likes a pretty living girl and he thinks she may like him back. Does he dare enter the school poetry contest, which no zombie has ever won, in an effort to show her how much he cares? A hilarious, gory, thought-provoking novel told entirely in haiku.
