Goofy, gross, demented, and delicious! K.A. Holt has created a classic tale of middle-school angst...the difference being that this illustrated novel is written entirely in Haiku.

Middle school is tough enough, but it's even worse when your classmates include lifers (regular humans), nasty blood-sucking creatures called chupacabras, and zombies. Loeb (pun fully intended) falls into the last category and, unfortunately for him, he has a huge crush on a human girl (major no-no). Can he push past the stereotypes and the different cliques to win his school's haiku competition and impress the girl?

In scenes set around a lunch table (the menu: brains) and around the school, eyes roll and jaws drop (literally). Also featured in the cast of characters is Carl, a chupacabra (bloodsucking critter) and Mrs. Fincher, a sympathetic and seductive librarian.

K.A. Holt is a writer, a terrible cook, and a mother of three (not necessarily in that order). When she's not busy imagining how she would survive a zombie apocalypse, she's busy imagining how she will survive the day. Kirkus and Publishers Weekly praised her first book for children, MIKE STELLAR: NERVES OF STEEL, with words like precocious and complex, and savvy and sharp.
