Blue Moon

Marc Notes: While helping the Omega team track down the identity of the original thirteen zombies in New York City, Molly tries to keep her mother's secret and uncovers a sinister plan of the undead.; Ages 9-13. Publisher Marketing: Molly is ready for more nonstop, undead action in this follow-up to "Dead City," which "Kirkus Reviews "described as "a fast-paced read for those who like their zombies with just a little fright." When Molly Bigelow discovered that zombies shared New York with humans, she didn't think life could get more shocking. Then she learned that her mother was once one of the greatest zombie killers ever--and she discovered that her dead mother is not technically dead at all (although she isn't alive, either). Molly's efforts to keep these secrets and to help her Omega team track down the identity of the original thirteen zombies will take her from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade to New Year's Eve in Times Square. Her loyalties to friends and family will be put to the test. And her life will be changed in ways she never could have imagined.
