Publisher's Synopsis
Celebrated illustrator K.G. Campbell (Flora and Ulysses) brings a touch of Tim Burton to this sweetly macabre new series about a boy who can't help but attract zombies... August DuPont has spent his whole life inside a dilapidated house with his aunt Hydrangea. His lonely existence ends abruptly with a surprise invitation to meet an aunt and cousins he didn't even know existed. When new-found Aunt Orchid suggests that August attend school with his cousins, it's a dream come true. But August has scarcely begun to celebrate his good fortune when he is confronted by a small problem on his way home. A small, no-longer-alive problem.
