INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Bacigalupi, Paolo

Zombie Baseball Beatdown

(3) 4-6 After a rotting smell disrupts baseball practice, Rabi, Miguel, and Joe investigate strange occurrences near a meatpacking plant. Infected cows, tainted meat, and deplorable working conditions lead to a full-blown zombie uprising in the small town of Milrow. Bacigalupi's scathing commentary on food safety and corrupt big business elevates this comedic novel without forcing the issues. Readers will cheer for the underdogs.
