Salem, 1692. Devils and witches are an accepted fact of life and religion. When some girls in the village begin having fits and tremors, their torments are...

From the moment Hannah Sanders arrived in town, she felt there was something wrong.
     A lot of houses were for sale, and the town seemed infected by an unearthly quiet. And then, on Hannah’s first day of classes, she ran into a group of cheerleaders—the most popular girls in school.
     The odd thing was that they were nearly identical in appearance: blonde, beautiful, and deathly pale.
     But Hannah wants desperately to fit in—regardless of what her friend Lukas is telling her: if she doesn’t watch her back, she’s going to be blonde and popular and dead—just like all the other zombies in this town. . . .

Praise

Praise for Zombie Blondes:

“James has created a believable novel about starting over, making friends, bullying, and ostracism, while adding a dash of the supernatural… readers will still give a rousing cheer to James’s take on teenage issues.”--School Library Journal

“Narrated by Hannah Sanders, a new kid in a very strange town, 'Zombie Blondes' takes its time making the case that the bitchy teen queens are actually deadly. It's tremendously readable stuff, though: James does a good job showing the allure of popularity even while Hannah tries to stay above it.”--San Francisco Chronicle

Praise for Brian James:

“The language is raw yet poetic; Chan’s voice is appropriate and fresh. The author has done a fine job of presenting the issues surrounding teen homelessness.”—School Library Journal, on Tomorrow, Maybe

“A riveting story. . . . Powerful, compelling, and, in the end, almost sweet.”—Booklist, on Dirty Liar
