AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Take one shy teenage boy, a dopey best mate, a granny who's lost her marbles (and teeth), a kid sister who bites back and a smelly demon dog. What you'll get is My Zombie Dog.

All Zane wants for his birthday is a dog. A real dog. A guy's dog. But his mom brings home this little mutt and wants to call it 'Fluffy'. Seriously? It's shaggy, smells undead and bites people. And why does its victims all turn sluggish and keep asking Zane for brains? One by one, everyone he knows is becoming infected. Join Zane as he takes on the neighborhood zombie plague.' (Publication summary)

Notes

Dedication: To all the four-legged, shaggy, flea-bitten friends who have nudged and wagged their way into our lives...and to all the dogs I've known. And especially to Fossil, the little dog that got into so many bad scrapes I figured she was already dead and just hanging about until someone got round to burying her. She's still waiting.
