Q. What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character?

AA. Well...that's a tough one. I think I would love to see:

I know, the cover is kind of freaky, but this is one of the best and most dynamic zombie books I have read lately. I won't even try to guess the actors...I would leave that bit up to the director, but this would be an awesome movie. Just seeing her learn to be a zombie and all the angst with figuring out she has to eat brains to survive would be completely amazing. A coming of age story that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

Challenged at the Salem-Keizer School District, 

Oreg. elementary schools (2010) because of the
