The Undertakers by Ty Drago

DO YOU SEE THE LIVING DEAD??
How do you defeat something that's already DEAD? More to the point, how do you defeat something that's already dead but that other people think is still alive—without going to jail?

In The Undertakers: Rise of the Corpses (Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, Ages: 9+, April 2011, $10.99 US, HC, ISBN 978-1-4022-4785-9), a heart-pounding tween adventure, the stakes have never been higher for the protection and survival of the human race.

When Will Ritter first realized that his neighbor, assistant principal and teacher are all walking, talking corpses he begins to seriously question his sanity—until the corpses attack. Now, these are your standard zombies. The "Corpses" are actually dead bodies that have been possessed like suits of rotting flesh. To make matters worse, only a select few, like Will, can actually see them for what they are.

Forced to join a ragtag army of teenage resistance fighters called the Undertakers, Will finds himself in the middle of a war against an invasion of decomposing cadavers. Unable to return home, Will struggles to accept his new destiny as a fighter—and a leader.

Can the Undertakers hold out? Read and find out!

The book was absolutely amazing!! I can't wait for the next one! The video was cool but it doesn't even compare to book !!! Much more intense reading it! Not just your average blood and guts zombie story, it takes you from 0 to 90 right from the beginning!
