Happy Town

Stay calm and remain HAPPY. Help is on the way. Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Jennifer L. Holm, this adventure-packed middle grade story, set in a world not too far from our own, follows a family that moves to a remote company town that seems perfect on the surface.... Keegan knows there''s something off about Happy Town. The isolated, high-tech company town is too perfect--with a dome keeping out bad weather and self-driving vehicles rumbling throughout the town delivering residents to work and school. Still, Keegan is excited to grow his art skills at Happy Town''s ultra-modern middle school, even if he has less time to see his mom and stepdad because of their new jobs. But when the two become obsessed with working and eating Happy Corp Meat Cramwich (the Microwaveable Sandwich Crammed with Meat) and Keegan gets sentenced to Mandatory Work Opportunities for refusing to follow Happy Town''s shady rules, he discovers a dangerous glitch in the system that''s turning the town''s happy residents into zombies. Carnivorous, meat-craving, literal zombies . With his new friends Gloriana and Tank by his side, he''ll need to find a way to destroy Happy Town''s happy system--before there''s nothing left.
