(from Goodreads)
Breakfast Club meets The Walking Dead as a group of unlikely allies tries to survive a deadly outbreak.

Brian and his friends are not part of the cool crowd. They’re the misfits and the troublemakers—the ones who jump their high school’s fence to skip class regularly. So when a deadly virus breaks out, they’re the only ones with a chance of surviving.


The virus turns Brian’s classmates and teachers into bloodthirsty attackers who don’t die easily. The whole school goes on lockdown, but Brian and his best friend, Chad, are safe (and stuck) in the theater department—far from Brian’s sister, Kenzie, and his ex-girlfriend with a panic attack problem, Laura. Brian and Chad, along with some of the theater kids Brian had never given the time of day before, decide to find the girls and bring them to the safety of the theater. But it won’t be easy, and it will test everything they thought they knew about themselves and their classmates.


Why I'm Waiting

Breakfast Club meets The Walking Dead.
That Is All. 
Oh, and it's Tom Leveen.
Now that's all.

  1. Okay my contemporary friend. How should I know Tom Leveen? And I get you on the Breakfast Club meets the Walking Dead. I was just explaing the Breakfast Club the other day to my son who doesn't fit in with the popular crowd how that movie shows how you really aren't all the different when it comes to your problems. Of course, parents are a lot of the problem, but oh well.

    1. Tom wrote Zero, manicpixiedreamgirl, and Party (I haven't read that one yet). This one sounds different from all of his others.

      Anything that will bring The Breakfast Club to this generation is a plus for me!
