Imagine what could happen if "Shaun of the Dead" met "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Jed's not your typical junior high geek. He is, to use the politically-correct term, cardiovascularly challenged. Or, to be blunt, undead. A zombie. His parents long tried to overlook his differences, since Jed was a bright, active kid up to the time a limb came loose. But Jed learned who and what we was at a birthday party when he helped blow out the candles, shooting his lips into the cake as well. That prompted "The Talk," forcing Jed to accept his post-life condition as well as an emergency repair kit consisting of duct tape and staples to keep himself together. As he entered 7th grade at Pine Hollow Middle School, a bigger challenge surfaced. He went by the name of Robbie, the supreme school bully and his pack of moronic toadies. From being thrown in trash cans to as "dead meat" to getting stuffed into a trophy case as the bully's "prize," Jed learned it wasn't easy being undead. It's only when Jed learns to embrace what he is, and accept the help of his friends Luke and Anna, that he discovers he can use zombieness for some quality payback. It's awesome what you can do when you're already dead!

Every kid needs a friend that is understanding, supportive, and there with a slobbery tennis ball when someone could use a smile. Jed's parents, however, again turn down the boy zombie's greatest wish. No wonder Jed races after a stray after spotting the dog in a park. If the dog happens to follow him home, how could his parents object? What happens in the next crucial moments is both Jed's worst and greatest moments in his undead life. When it it's over, Jed has a new best friend that's as unique as he is. Now all he has to do is convince his parents to let him keep up. How could they say no to a dog who doesn't only chase his tail, but catches it, tears it off and buries it? Things are even more tense at school when Jed learns of a mysterious group that wants all zombies suspended from school. Since he's the only undead students, it's clear he's the target. But what have they got against him? And what might they do if they find out he made a zombie dog?
