Try being dead. For middle schooler Liv Creep, being dead is totally ruining her life-constantly worrying about body parts falling off in class, the diet of (ew, you know), and keeping the million-year-old secret that the dead exist so humans don't freak. But the worst part? Knowing that Ryan-the cutest guy ever-would never like her, a dead girl. Just when things couldn't get any worse, Kaitlyn Ashley, the school's meanest influencer, threatens to turn her crush into epic social media humiliation. Desperate to stop her, Liv must drag her best friend, Di-a human!-deep into the dead's most dangerous city, steal a priceless ring, and survive the jaws of the world's most ravenous zombies... a lot of times. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Good thing she's already dead.
