I will admit I was skeptical when I picked it up, because six first person narrators? Really? But it worked because of the way it was crafted. Indulge my nerdiness for a moment because I want to talk about how brilliantly crafted this book is. But the basket case? The girl who’s barely holding it together the girl who only signed on to come to fat camp because she was so broken up about her rich best friend’s rejection that she chased her all the way to the middle-of-nowhere-Arizona in a sad attempt to humiliate her the girl who looks at the other five teenagers around her and sees not the only five humans still alive to fight the zombies that have overrun the camp but the characters they would be in the horror movie of their life: Action Girl, the Nerd, the Jerk, the Jock, the Outcast–and the Basket Case, Allie, who will be the first to die. The strong, determined, fearless girl survives. Because that’s what happens in all horror movies. For more information, see my “About” page.

What starts out as a mission to unravel the camp's secrets turns into a desperate fight for survival-and not all of the Featherlite campers will make it out alive.

Even worse, it's not long before Camp Featherlite's luxurious bungalows are totally overrun with zombies. Plus, the camp's supposed miracle cure for obesity just seems fishy, and Vee and her fellow campers know they don't need to be cured. Then she spots something horrifying outside in the snow. Vee barely has a chance to meet the other members of her pod, all who seem as unhappy to be at Featherlite as she does, when a camper goes missing down by the lake. And when they arrive at Camp Featherlite at the start of the worst blizzard in the history of Flagstaff, Arizona, it's clear that something isn't right. 1-We'll be rescued (unlikely) 2-We'll freeze to death (maybe) 3-We'll be eaten by thin and athletic zombies (odds: excellent) Vivian Ellenshaw is fat, but she knows she doesn't need to lose weight, so she's none too happy to find herself forced into a weight-loss camp's van with her ex-best friend, Allie, a meathead jock who can barely drive, and the camp owner's snobby son. In the next few hours, one of three things will happen. Shaun of the Dead meets Dumplin' in this bitingly funny YA thriller about a kickass group of teens battling a ravenous group of zombies.
