This book was much less about Zombies than I anticipated. Infact for most of the book B and her friends are debating whether the zombie attack from chapter 1 is really an attack, or just a publicity stunt. There are currently 12 books in this series, so I will let you make that guess.

What surprised me most about this book was its look at racism. I was never expecting this book to be racism. Ever. But it plays so heavily into the story. B’s father is unapologetically racist (and this is in England). He wants England to go back to being all about the white people. The indians, and the blacks need to go back to their home island. B hates this about her father, but at the same time, he is her father and she just wants his love and affection. She hates when she is called racist, because she doesn't feel that is how she really is, but sees that it has rubbed off on her. It was learned at her father's knee, with severe repercussions for not believing or acting like you believe what he believes.

This book is only 174 pages. And except for the first chapter, the book is about B’s life. Her trip to (for lack of a better term) clan rallies, her don’t give a f%^& attitude about school, life, most anything. The reader gets to delve into her recurring dream of dead babies on a plane, and her itchy scar. While most of this has very little play in this title, you can tell it is part of a bigger set up. I have made theories of what will happen, but currently have no idea if they are right. The book leaves you hanging for the next title. I am interested enough to read the next title. Will you be, maybe. If you are a hard core zombie fan, maybe. Probably. Not someone who can stand racism in a book, don’t pick this one up. It’s short, quick, and without reading the next book, the best I can say is interesting.
