Zombies in the Classroom

Their dreams are their essence, essential to who they are . . .

Something strange lingers at Blue Hills Middle School. After making dreamcatchers in art class, many of Cricket Easton’s seventh grade classmates aren’t acting like themselves. But Cricket and her best friend James discover their dreamcatchers allow them to exist inside their dreams like they do in the real world.

As their classmates start to deteriorate into zombie-like states, Cricket and James take it upon themselves to investigate why. Just as they seem to be getting somewhere, James starts acting like a zombie too, forfeiting his dream to make the grade seven soccer team.

Alone to save her classmates before they are left as zombies forever, Cricket turns to unlikely (and forbidden) allies for help.

Perfect if you enjoy humorous middle grade mysteries with heart and a hint of magic!
