Disaster Diaries - Zombies - Author R. McGeddon

The school year is nearly over and Sam and Arty are just counting the seconds to freedom… until their science teacher triggers a mysterious explosion and accidentally covers a classmate in a weird green goo. Nothing unusual, right? Wrong.

Soon, zombies — and zombie body parts — start popping up all over town. With the adults proving completely useless (and mostly infected), it’s up to Sam, Arty and their fearless friend Emmie to save the day. Can they crack the code of the goo, find a cure, and stop their school from becoming the next zombie buffet?

Perfect for fans of fast-paced adventures with a hilarious twist, this chapter book turns the zombie apocalypse into a laugh-out-loud survival mission.

Why we—and schools—like it:

• Action-packed and full of humor — perfect for engaging reluctant readers.
• Highlights teamwork, critical thinking, and staying calm in chaos.
• Great springboard for creative writing and classroom discussions on science fiction and survival stories.
