** NOW OUT!!! Did you get your copy of GIRL Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie?? **
*****************************************
1. So much is made of what zombies eat, namely us. But in GIRL Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie, the main character, Becca, is part-Z for zombie and yet still human. So what does she eat? Well... without giving it away, here's a hint:
Excerpt:
I gulped down the slimy chunks, fighting the gag reflex as I
continued to slurp and chew, the globs of fat encircling my mouth. I chewed,
burped and licked my lips, not caring about anything, or anyone, except the
here and now.
I had only one thing on my mind—stopping the raging,
blinding hunger.
2. What is life like for a girl who is not only 16 (with all the problems that go with being a teenager), but who becomes a part-zombie?
Excerpt:
Sure I had the wandering eye problem and tripped over my own
feet, but so far, most of my problems were somewhat tolerable, considering
everything. Not so for most male Zs, I saw. Carm and I exchanged horrified
glances as we watched the rude, obnoxious way several of them acted, hoping it
was a rare occurrence. Hardly.
The main thing on most teenage Z's brains (the little they
had left, of course) these days was food, followed by sex, a horrific
combination.
The virus amplified the endless eating cycle teenage boys
usually had. Even with all the protein drinks, I watched several stagger down
the hall slobbering over packages of raw meat when they weren't slobbering over
girls. Ugh. I wanted to laugh, and would've, if it wasn't so revolting.
3. One more: So what are the other, full-zombies like in Becca's world?
Naturally, they're all as different in "undeath" as they were in life, but here's a glimpse in one scene:
Excerpt:
I gunned the car and twisted the steering wheel, the thing
trying to hang on before it fell in a heap as we revved off. In the rearview
mirror, I watched it stumble and stagger around in a circle, acting like it
could catch us.
My calm broke in a torrent of curses when two more of them
lurched from the trees at the side of the road and waved at us like long-lost
demented friends.
