Stay calm and remain HAPPY. Help is on the way.
Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Jennifer L. Holm, this adventure-packed middle grade story, set in a world not too far from our own, follows a family that moves to a remote company town that seems perfect on the surface....
Keegan knows thereâs something off about Happy Town.
The isolated, high-tech company town is too perfectâwith a dome keeping out bad weather and self-driving vehicles rumbling throughout the town delivering residents to work and school. Still, Keegan is excited to grow his art skills at Happy Townâs ultra-modern middle school, even if he has less time to see his mom and stepdad because of their new jobs.
But when the two become obsessed with working and eating Happy Corp Meat Cramwich (the Microwaveable Sandwich Crammed with Meat) and Keegan gets sentenced to Mandatory Work Opportunities for refusing to follow Happy Townâs shady rules, he discovers a dangerous glitch in the system thatâs turning the townâs happy residents into zombies. Carnivorous, meat-craving, literal zombies. With his new friends Gloriana and Tank by his side, heâll need to find a way to destroy Happy Townâs happy systemâbefore thereâs nothing left.
