SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO RELAX WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND. But the universe has other plans. ----------------------------------------------- In the hilarious follow-up to VEGAN TEENAGE ZOMBIE HUNTRESS, we meet Joe and Mike, two other kids from Redvale High, the dudes who used to steal brownies from Clarissa’s anti-prom table. Joe and Mike are staying in on prom night, with the intent of celebrating the end of high school, except Joe feels bad after a run-in with one of Dad’s friends, who reminds him that his high school career was a waste and he might be a loser. Then, he and Mike end up having to babysit little sister Ruby, a three-year-old wild child and escape artist. So much for partying. When Ruby ends up back upstairs with Mom, Joe and Mike finally celebrate with the aid of some special brownies. Except they don’t make Joe feel any better. He only feels worse—much worse. Completely sick and baked out of his mind, he crawls upstairs to tell his parents he’s sorry for getting bad grades at school, except...everyone at home has gone zombie, and Ruby has escaped again. Will Joe and Mike save Ruby from the dark, zombie-laced woods? And will they cross paths with Clarissa, Lila, Jaime, and a mysterious Ghost Samurai on the way?
