Mannie Fuego's Guide to Good Eats - Paperback

by Diana Gray (Author)

Bradley is a necromancer who is terrified of death.

He's also living a dead-end life. Hiding out as a short-order cook at his uncle's burger joint, Bradley only uses his magic to bring produce back to life. When celebrity chef Mannie Fuego rolls into town to do a TV spot, Bradley decides to try his power on meat for the first time. Unfortunately, instead of earning rave reviews, the burgers turn people into ravenous zombies. Now, the only way to stop the zombie apocalypse is to kill the first zombie he turned: Mannie Fuego.

In this modern twist on the classic coming-of-age tale, our hero must confront his dark powers and leave the small town he's lived in all his life. Along with his mother and grandfather (whose spirit now possesses an armchair), Bradley embarks on a cross-country race to track Mannie Fuego down.
