Hunter High

Fifteen-year-old Barbra Flynn is used to being the new kid in school. Thanks to her dad's job, her family moves every year or two. Normally, she can deal; she puts her head down, does her work and watches from the sidelines. But not anymore. After a hard to believe, yet totally true, teacher-turned-zombie incident during class, Barbra is dragged to Hunter High, a military school where students train to kill monsters instead of master quadratic equations.

Once inside Hunter High's impressively gated grounds, Barbra learns she's the granddaughter of the original zombie hunter. Impressed? She's not, and neither is most of the student body. Zombie hunters shuffle along the bottom of the popularity pole. Barbra just wants to go home and escape the stares, the new-kid questions and morning-freaking-drill. Leaving won't be easy. The General, aka the guy running the school, is hell-bent on keeping her at Hunter High to repay a past debt.

Barbra thinks the quicker the zombie mess is mopped up, the faster she can escape. She partners with Cooper Lee, editor of the school's newspaper, to figure out why the zombies are rising. She's convinced it's voodoo. Cooper likes his mad scientist theory. Whatever the reason, Barbra needs to improve her brain-bashing skills pronto. Bodies are piling up, and Barbra's noodle, in particular, has never looked so juicy to someone within the walls of Hunter High.
