In this inventive, fast-paced novel, "New York Times" bestselling and
Printz Award-winning author Paolo Bacigalupi takes on hard-hitting
themes--from food safety to racism and immigration--and creates a zany,
grand-slam adventure that will get kids thinking about where their food
comes from.
The zombie apocalypse begins on the day Rabi, Miguel,
and Joe are practicing baseball near their town's local meatpacking
plant and nearly get knocked out by a "really big "stink. Little do they
know the plant's toxic cattle feed is turning cows into flesh-craving
monsters! The boys decide to launch a stealth investigation into the
plant's dangerous practices, unknowingly discovering a greedy
corporation's plot to look the other way as tainted meat is sold to
thousands all over the country. With no grownups left they can trust,
Rabi and his friends will have to grab their bats to protect themselves
(and a few of their enemies) if they want to stay alive...and maybe even
save the world.
