Quick-Fire Review: Alice In Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, Book 1) by Gena Showalter

Alice in Zombieland Hardcover: 416 pages Publisher: Harlequin Teen (September 25, 2012) Language: English Buy the book: Amazon She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever. Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone. Her father was right. The monsters are real. To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies. At a Glance: I've been staring at this book, for some time now, on my bookshelf. I really have to be in a certain mood to read about zombies. When I di...

Fan of INTO THE DARK series? Watch this goofy short film by Bree Despain where she explains Mythology.

Bree Despain's INTO THE DARK series is based on two of her favorite Greek myths: Persephone and Hades, and Orpheus and Eurydice. Both are stories about people who ventured into the dark (or the unknown) for the sake of love. Most people are more familiar with the Persephone myth than they are with the story of Orpheus and Eurydice so Bree decided to to make a little 4 minute movie version of the myth for anyone who might want a little refresher course on this tragic tale. The movie was written and directed by Bree's 12 year old son and stars the members of her family--including Bree and all of her messy hair + no makeup glory. Enjoy!  Be sure and check out the INTO THE DARK series! INTO THE DARK AMBASSADOR
