Dead Jed 2: Dawn of the Jed - Paperback

by Scott Craven (Author)

Every kid needs a friend that is understanding, supportive, and there with a slobbery tennis ball when someone could use a smile. Jed's parents, however, again turn down the boy zombie's greatest wish. No wonder Jed races after a stray after spotting the dog in a park. If the dog happens to follow him home, how could his parents object?What happens in the next crucial moments is both Jed's worst and greatest moments in his undead life. When it it's over, Jed has a new best friend that's as unique as he is. Now all he has to do is convince his parents to let him keep up. How could they say no to a dog who doesn't only chase his tail, but catches it, tears it off and buries it? Things are even more tense at school when Jed learns of a mysterious group that wants all zombies suspended from school. Since he's the only undead student, it's clear he's the target. But what have they got against him? And what might they do if they find out he made a zombie dog?

Author Biography

Scott Craven has been a newspaper reporter for more than three decades, specializing in the stories of fascinating people. He's spent the last thirty years at The Arizona Republic, constantly searching for tales to tell. The "Dead Jed" trilogy is the Tempe, Arizona resident's first stab (so to speak) at fiction. It combines his love of horror stories with his quirky brand of humor. It also includes several autobiographical elements, so the books also serve as a bit of revenge against those who bullied him when he was a five-foot-nothing student in middle school. Not that he holds a grudge. Craven has a 22-year-old son Bryson who is majoring in business marketing at Arizona State University. He's accompanied in life by his beautiful girlfriend Melissa, and at times by his rather aloof dog Sandy.
