When the dead rose up from the battlefield of Gettysburg, the course of American history changed. The Civil War never officially ended, and those left alive had to learn to fight back against the "shamblers." Privileged white people in cities use less privileged people for protection. Jane is one of the less-privileged. She's African American and attends a special school that trains "Negro" girls in both etiquette and how to kill shamblers. Things get worse and worse and Jane must flee, but is there anywhere left that is safe? This book provides a blend of action, history, zombies, racial injustice, and friendship/romance. Recommended for grades 8-up.
