Out of sight, out of their minds: It's a school-trip splatter fest and completely not cool when the other kids in her class go all braindead on new girl Bobby.The day of the ski trip, when the bus comes to a stop at a roadside restaurant, everyone gets off and heads in for lunch. Everyone, that is, except Bobby, the new girl, who stays behind with rebel-without-a-clue Smitty.Then hours pass. Snow piles up. Sun goes down. Bobby and Smitty start to flirt. Start to stress. Till finally they see the other kids stumbling back.But they've changed. And not in a good way. Straight up, they're zombies. So the wheels on the bus better go round and round freakin' fast, because that's the only thing keeping Bobby and Smitty from becoming their classmates' next meal. It's kill or be killed in these hunger games, heads are gonna roll, and homework is most definitely gonna be late.Combining the chill of THE SHINING, the thrill ride of SPEED, the humor of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, and the angst of THE BREAKFAST CLUB, Kirsty McKay's UNDEAD is a bloody mad mash-up, a school-trip splatter-fest, a funny, gory, frighteningly good debut!

3.0 Undead Book Review
Things I liked and things I didn't about this one. It was really enjoyable and quite funny for the first half. But then it became exhausting. Not enough character development for me to really love it. I'd actually would probably recommend this to reluctant reader because its all action and very fast...

4.0 Review - Undead by Kirsty McKay
Two words - Scotland. Zombies. I was all over it! Zombies on my home turf?! I'm in!What I didn't realise going into this was that it's probably what's known as a 'middle grade' read (I think) and that definitely had a bearing on how I was feeling towards the book before I figured it out. I had wrong...

5.0 Untot: Lauf, solange du noch kannst
Ich fand es super! :)Die Entstehung der Zombies war zwar nix neues und die Zusammensetzung der Gruppe mit Rebell, Nerd, dem hübschen arroganten Mädchen und der Neuen auch nix neues, aber gut geschrieben und mal was aus der Sicht von Jugendlichen.Hat mir wirklich Spaß gemacht!Freu mich auf Band 2.

3.0 Undead (Undead #1) by Kirsty McKay
The first time I saw Undead I knew I wanted to read it - set in the UK, a bunch of teenagers surviving a zombie apocalypse with some black humour thrown in? Totally my thing. Plus the cover is pretty cool and has coloured pages which I am a complete sucker for. Undead begins with two characters, B...
