Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up-This horror tale perks along with a sparkling style and a plucky, determined heroine. It's formulaic, but entertaining and well characterized. Megan, the proverbial new girl at Mojave High, restores an ancient school bus; re-creates a tragic accident; and researches in the library and a bookstore in order to rid the town of revenants and release The Band of Undead into mortality. Despite some potholes in the plot, the writing is a cut above the usual slasher sleaze associated with the genre. Megan is resourceful and an adversary worthy of her creepy, occult opponents. A romping read that will provide YAs with the funhouse thrills they currently crave.

This book was absolutely amazing! I could totally relate to the situations, and characters- it was really comforting. Carman Adams, is a good writer, and I hope she writes more books.
