When life gives you lemons, kill zombies -- turns out lemon juice neutralizes the undead.After a failed attempt at running away, best friends Nathan and Misty return home expecting to face angry parents. Instead, they discover the military has destroyed the bridges out of their rural town and everyone's fled--except a small horde of the living dead.

Thomas of Hookton is one of those archers. When his village is sacked by French raiders, he makes a promise to God: to retrieve the relic stolen from Hookton's church. Escaping his father's ambitions, he becomes a wild youth who delights in the life of an army on the warpath. Driven by his conscience and protected by his fearsome skills, he enters a world where lovers become enemies and enemies become friends, where his only certainty is that somewhere, beyond a horizon smeared with the smoke of fires set by the rampaging English army, a terrible enemy awaits him. This enemy would harness the power of Chistendom's greatest relic: the Grail itself. Here, in the first book of a new series, the quest begins. It leads him through the fields of France, to the village of Crecy where two great armies meet on the hillside to do battle.

Now in gorgey new paperback and guaranteed to have the nation laughing their knickers off! Jas said, "Well, what happened?" And I said, "Well, it was beyond marvy. We talked and snogged and then he made me a sandwich and we snogged and then he played me a record and then we snogged." "So it was like!" "Yeah! a snogging fest." "Sacre bleu!" Jas looked like she was thinking which is a) unusual and b) scary. I said, "But then this weird thing happened. He had his hands on my waist, standing behind me." "Oo-er!" "D-accord. Anyway, I turned round and he sort of leaped out of the way like two short leaping things." "Was he dancing?" "No! I think he was frightened of being knocked out by my nunga-nungas!" Then we both laughed like loons on loon tablets (i.e. A LOT).
