Zomboy By: Richard Scrimger

Genre:  Fiction/YA
Age Recommendation:  Grade 7/8

It's the first day of grade seven and Bob isn't particularly excited about returning to school.  Things start to get strange when the principal brings in a new student, Imre.  Imre's family was the victim of a nuclear accident and he was the sole survivor, only he isn't really alive, he's more like a zombie.  As time passes, Bob realizes that Imre isn't such a bad guy, if you can get past the occasional loose body part, but not everyone feels the same about Imre.  Bob and his best friend Evil-O are about to embark on a really unusual grade seven year.  This book was nominated for the Red Maple Award and has some great messages about discrimination, as well as some laughs.
