★2014 Selah Finalist for Middle Grade Fiction★

A kidnapping . . .A mystery . . . A monster . . . Is there a zombie running loose in the swamps of Savannah?

Hours before the start of Savannah's Halloween night Zombie Crawl, Nick and his sister investigate the rumors that one of the "walking-dead" comes alive during the "WAKE UP, WALK!" call . Moments before the pair is set to leave the old fishing shack and head back to their condo, a body floats up from the dark depths of the creek and snatches Wendy!

No one believes Nick when he claims that the corpse of Heidi May Laveau pulled his sister away in a canoe -- even after Wendy proves impossible to find. But this body-snatcher has a message for Nick from "beyond the grave." Now he faces the difficult task of sorting fact from fiction as he seeks to discover the truth about the "walking dead" before his worst fears come true.
