Dead city - james ponti

A tween takes on undead New Yorkers in this paranormal action-adventure that breathes new life into the zombie genre (Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games ).

Most kids have enough to deal with between school, homework, extracurricular activities, and friends, but Molly Bigelow isnt your typical tween.

By day, Molly attends MIST--the Metropolitan Institute of Science and Technology--but its what shes learning outside of school that sets her apart from her classmates.

Molly is a zombie hunter, just like her mother.

This, however, is news to Molly.

Now she must come to terms with not only the idea that zombies exist, but also that theyre everywhere, and its her job to help police them and keep the peace.

Sure, shed like to be a regular kid, but regular just isnt possible when it turns out the most revered (or feared, depending on your perspective) zombie hunter in the history of New York City is your mother.

It seems Mollys got some legendary footsteps to follow.
