Description
A zombie in a creek . . .A "body snatching" . . . A mysterious warning from the grave . . . Are there "walking dead" stumbling loose in the swamps around Savannah?
★ Shortlisted as a Selah Winner for Middle Grade Fiction ★
Hours before the start of Savannah's Zombie Crawl, Nick and his sister investigate the rumors that one of the "walking-dead" comes alive on Halloween night. After hours of slapping mosquitoes the pair prepares to leave the old fishing shack and head back to their condo. With his sister in the canoe and Nick on the dock a body floats up from the dark depths of the creek and snatches Wendy!
No one believes Nick when he claims that the corpse of Heidi May Laveau pulled his sister away in a canoe-even after Wendy proves impossible to find. But this body-snatcher has a message for Nick from "beyond the grave." Now he faces the difficult task of sorting fact from fiction as he seeks to discover the truth about the "walking dead" before his worst fears come true.
The Good News is the dead don't stay dead. That's also bad news for Nick and his sister!

Parents can trust the Caden Chronicles. There is no sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language, only positive moral values and a wee little bit of humor.: )
