Kirsty McKay - UNDEAD -Mr Ripley's Most Wanted Book

                                                                                                             

Being new at school bites. But at least it doesn't kill you. Mostly.
Bobby thinks she might well be on the School Trip from Hell. Too bad she's a noob, too bad her classmates don't rate her weirdo accent and too bad that Scotland is having the worst blizzard since the Ice Age. Looks like she's going to be on this school bus for a quite a while; could things get much worse?
Yep. They could.
Inexplicably, her classmates start dying...and then they come back to life again...and what's more, they're very, very hungry.
With nowhere to run and no contact with the outside world, Bobby is thrown together with a raggle-taggle group of survivors at a roadside café. There's indie kid drop-out Smitty, the class beauty queen Alice, dweeby Pete and two near useless adults: a half-conscious bus driver and a volatile petrol station attendant.

What? What? What? Zombies? Scotland? Oh wow! How have I not heard of this one? Two of my favourite things together in one book? Going straight on my wishlist!

Have you got it already? Go on - make me jealous!

That book trailer was great, and Undead sounds fantastic. I hope it makes the September release in Australia, because I'm already squirming in anticipation!
