(4) YA Ken thinks he has bought immortality from one Cheri Buttercup, a death-dealing entrepreneur who works out of an apartment in Queens. While he's correct--as encounters with a bully and a shark go on to prove--he has also become Cheri's zombie-for-hire. Preposterous? Of course. But Sleator capably if rudimentarily moves the story along to a bwa-ha-HA surprise conclusion.
