#Giveaway BETTER OFF UNDEAD by James Preller @FeiwelFriends #NerdBlast 11.17

October 22, 2017 By Mary

by James Preller
Published by Feiwel & Friends

NERD BLAST

Synopsis 
 

Liz Szabla at Feiwel and Friends has acquired James Preller‘s Dead (But Cautiously Optimistic), pitched as The Walking Dead meets The Mysterious Benedict Society. In the “not-too-distant future,” a seventh-grade undead boy has to adjust to middle-school life as a zombie, and with three unlikely friends, he navigates a mystery involving global warming, disappearing bees, and billionaire developers… and more zombies.

It’s slated for fall 2016; Rosemary Stimola at Stimola Literary Studio brokered the deal for North American rights.

Praise for BETTER OFF UNDEAD

“Adrian Lazarus is a middle school zombie, the result of an accident that left him “as undead as a toenail and not really thrilled about it.” …This cautionary tale is more than just a brain-eating gross-out. Set in the not-too-distant future when humanity is suffering from numerous self-inflicted woes, this story’s villains are the Bork Brothers, owners of K & K Industries, “the richest, most powerful corporation on the planet” and also the source of much of the planet’s environmental troubles. …This uproarious middle grade call to action has considerable kid appeal and a timely message.” ―School Library Journal

Praise for THE COURAGE TEST

“Preller stirs doses of American history into a first-rate road trip that does traditional double-duty as plot device and coming-of-age metaphor. . . . Despite the many plot threads, the story never seems overstuffed or weighed down by agendas. . . . Additionally, not only does the author slip cogent historical facts and insights into his simply told narrative without disturbing its flow, he offers more detail, plus sources of information, in an afterword.” ―Booklist, starred review
