Books with title Dead Jed: Adventures of a Middle School Zombie

Dead Jed is Shaun of the Dead meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Jed's not your typical middle school geek. He is, to use the politically correct term, cardiovascularly challenged. And while his parents have attempted to shield him from the implications of being different for as long as they could (Jed was eight and at a friend's sister's birthday party when he blew his lips off onto the cake in front of everyone, finally prompting the "big talk" from his parents and an emergency superglue repair by his dad), seventh grade at Pine Hollow Middle School as a target of Robbie the supreme school bully and his pack of moronic toadies is rapidly becoming unbearable. From being stuffed in a filled trash can as "dead meat" and into a trophy case as the bully's "prize" to literally having his hand pulled off in the boys' room (Jed's always losing body parts - but with a good stapler and some duct tape, he's back in the action), Jed's had enough and is ready to plan his revenge. Besides, it's awesome what you can do when you're already dead.

After a tumultuous first semester in seventh grade, Jed Rivers returns triumphant - or so he thinks. After embracing his undeadness to put his archenemy Robbie in his place, the 13-year-old zombie thought he'd have a much easier time surviving the second semester relatively intact. That was before he came across the antizombie propaganda published by the mysterious NZN Network, a group trying to push Hollywood stereotypes as the truth. Through fear-mongering and outright lies, the NZN Network will stop at nothing to get Jed expelled. Jed's attempts to blend in get even more difficult when news spreads that he's created a zombie dog. And it's no rumor. Jed shocks even himself when, after seeing a dog get hit by a car, he brings the dog back to life - or at least to undeadness - when some of his ooze slips into the dog's wounds. The good news is that Jed always wanted a faithful canine companion. The bad news is that the creation of Tread (so called for the mark on his ribcage) unnerves Jed's best friend Luke. Luke abandons Jed, who then learns Luke has been feeding the NZN Network inside information. Determined to unmask those behind NZN, Jed gets his opportunity at the end of the school year during Pine Hollow's annual Science Fair. When the NZN's experiment goes horribly awry, Jed has a chance to show people that being undead isn't always a bad thing.

Imagine what could happen if "Shaun of the Dead" met "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Jed's not your typical junior high geek. He is, to use the politically-correct term, cardiovascularly challenged. Or, to be blunt, undead. A zombie. His parents long tried to overlook his differences, since Jed was a bright, active kid up to the time a limb came loose. But Jed learned who and what we was at a birthday party when he helped blow out the candles, shooting his lips into the cake as well. That prompted "The Talk," forcing Jed to accept his post-life condition as well as an emergency repair kit consisting of duct tape and staples to keep himself together. As he entered 7th grade at Pine Hollow Middle School, a bigger challenge surfaced. He went by the name of Robbie, the supreme school bully and his pack of moronic toadies. From being thrown in trash cans to as “dead meat” to getting stuffed into a trophy case as the bully's “prize,” Jed learned it wasn't easy being undead. It's only when Jed learns to embrace what he is, and accept the help of his friends Luke and Anna, that he discovers he can use zombieness for some quality payback. It's awesome what you can do when you're already dead!

Dead Jed is Shaun of the Dead meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Jed's not your typical junior high geek. He is, to use the politically-correct term, cardiovascularly-challenged. And while his parents have attempted to shield him from the implications of being 'different' for as long as they could (Jed was 8 and at a friend's sister's birthday party when he blew his lips off onto the cake in front of everyone, finally prompting the “Big Talk” from his parents and an emergency SuperGlue repair by his dad), 7th grade at Pine Hollow Middle School as a target of Robbie the supreme school bully and his pack of moronic toadies is rapidly becoming unbearable. From being stuffed in a filled trash can as “dead meat” and into a trophy case as the bully's “prize,” to literally having his hand pulled off in the boys' room (Jed's always losing body parts. Luckily, a good stapler and some duct tape and he's back in the action) and a cigarette put in it and try to frame him for the recent reports of smoking in the school, Jed's had enough and is ready to plan his revenge. Besides, it's awesome what you can do when you're already dead!
