He is, to use the politically-correct term, cardiovascularly challenged. Or, to be blunt, undead. A zombie. His parents long tried to overlook his differences, since Jed was a bright, active kid up to the time a limb came loose. But Jed learned who and what we was at a birthday party when he helped blow out the candles, shooting his lips into the cake as well. That prompted \"The Talk,\" forcing Jed to accept his post-life condition as well as an emergency repair kit consisting of duct tape and staples to keep himself together. As he entered 7th grade at Pine Hollow Middle School, a bigger challenge surfaced. He went by the name of Robbie, the supreme school bully and his pack of moronic toadies. From being thrown in trash cans to as \"dead meat\" to getting stuffed into a trophy case as the bully's \"prize,\" Jed learned it wasn't easy being undead. It's only when Jed learns to embrace what he is, and accept the help of his friends Luke and Anna, that he discovers he can use zombieness for some quality payback. It's awesome what you can do when you're already dead\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Craven is a features writer for The Arizona Republic, where he loves to tell the stories of others. You can see his work at www.azcentral.com. He's also a big fan of zombie films, hooked from the moment he saw a young girl chewing on a limb in \"Night of the Living Dead.\" Like the protagonist in \"Dead Jed,\" Scott suffered through his own middle-school horrors at the hands of bullies. Since he could never remove his right arm and beat his enemies over the head with it, he invented a character who could. The book is part catharsis and part revenge, but mostly a lot of fun to write.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55154985140515,"sku":"9781544976655","price":27.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8279\/8371\/files\/d7hzC5YmO-9781544976655.webp?v=1779833096","url":"https:\/\/homeschoolbookbarn.com\/products\/dead-jed-adventures-of-a-middle-school-zombie-paperback-1","provider":"Homeschool Book Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
