Other editions of book Dead Jed: Return of the Jed

With seventh grade behind him, Jed jumps at the opportunity to spend the summer in Mexico with his dad. But there's just one catch: Luke and Tread get to tag along. In Mexico, fitting in might be easier than Jed imagined, with holidays such as Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Here, a rising eighth-grade zombie boy and his zombie dog won't draw that much attention. But then Tread unwittingly sets off Mexico's Chupacabra Defense Network, and Jed accidentally collides with a bus. So much for blending in. The unusual pair catch the eye of a professional wrestler, who challenges Jed to a fight! Their antics manage to capture the attention of a doctor whose knowledge of the undead causes Jed to question his very existence. Is this the answer Jed's been hoping for since his parents sat him down for the "you're a zombie" talk? Jed may have finally found a way to be normal, but at what cost?

After a rough first year at middle school, Jed could use a relaxing vacation. But the 12-year-old zombie finds nothing of the sort when he and his best friend Luke joins Jed's dad for a trip to Mexico. Border agents stop the tourists when Jed's undead dog Tread trips the chupacabra alert. A mysterious man comes to Jed's rescue, but his motivations are suspect. Why such interest in a 12-year-old kid and his dog? Jed thinks the man knows more about the undead life than he lets on, but the zombie's concerns vanish when he's caught up in another adventure, this one involving a traveling team of wrestlers. Just as Jed get accustomed to being torn limb from limb (literally) by his opponents, the zombie faces a life-changing decision that can change his very being. He is forced to contemplate living la vida muerta.
