In Pura BelprĂŠ Honorâwinning author Adrianna Cuevas's new spooky middle grade novel. Frani must fight to stop the undead from rising in her fatherâs body-farm laboratoryâthat is, if she can embrace the true nature of her brain and its ADHD.
No one has ever called Frani Gonzalez squeamish. Seriously, whether itâs guts (no big deal), bugs (move aside, sheâs got this), or anything else that you might find at the Central Texas Forensic Anthropology Research Facility, to her and her dad, the universityâs body farm is just home.
Having bodies buried in her backyard doesnât exactly make Frani the most popular kid in school, and the imaginary spider that lives in a web in her brain isnât helping either. AraĂąitaâs always to blame for the distracted thoughts weaving through Franiâs mind. But when a hand reaches out of the ground and grabs her ankle, Frani realizes that sheâs got bigger problems.
Not everything is as it seems at the body farm, and now Frani must help the teenage zombie that crawled out of the dirtâŚbefore he gets too hungry. But as more and more zombies begin to appearâand they seem to get less and less friendlyâcan Frani embrace the true nature of her brain and count on new friendships to solve the body farm's mystery before it's overrun with the undead?
