Zombiefied! (2015)
“Then an arm, which felt like it belonged to someone much bigger and stronger than me, went around my neck and I was dragged backward, my heels scraping along in the dirt, toward the old bus. I tried to wriggle out from underneath the arm, but my legs were sort of running the wrong way and I could hardly breathe.

‘You know, the blue hat. The one that says “Have a nice day” on the back.’ ‘“Have a purrfect day”,’ I said, which was pretty dumb because it really didn’t matter what the hat said.MoreLess
