Kat, 17, likes to think of herself as above the crowd. She's not like the other girls at her high school – giggly, gossipy, shallow, boy crazy, and hopelessly obsessed with their appearance. Instead, Kat is introspective, thinks deep thoughts, and even likes science. In fact, she's the only girl in Mr. Knopick's science class who's actually looking forward to dissecting a cat. In short, Kat's a nerd. So when she falls into a deep crush with Alec, the gorgeous new boy in school, Kat is dismayed to find that deep inside, under her serious plain-Jane exterior, she's just like those popular girls: silly, self-conscious, and suddenly worried about what to wear. It gets better for her when Alec invites her to the senior prom. Maybe it's not so awful to fit in for a change? But then things get worse. So much worse. We're talking really bad. We're talking killer zombies attacking her school bad. How can so much go wrong so fast?
