Saffron loved the little Minnesota town where she lived with her older brother Shane._ She loved the little park in which she spent her afternoons reading and boarding, with itÕs Autumn Maple Blaze and the little kids laughing in the background. _She even loved her school and, while she wasnÕt really close friends with any of the kids in her new class,_ _neither was anyone really mean to her. Best of all, Shane was due a promotion at work. That meant they could move into a bigger apartment. And that... that meant she could finally get a dog! Things were going so well. Then the dead began to walk. This is a fun, uplifting story, appropriate reading level for 12-14 year olds, about one young woman learning to deal with death and loss and independence, all alone in a town full of zombies. Her name is Saffron Mabel, sheÕs 12 years old... sheÕs the Living Dead Girl.
