Recess in Peace: Dawn of the Dead Kid (R.I.P. #1)

Toot Books presents an all-new haunting middle-grade series, RECESS IN PEACE.

This mind-melting, lightly serialized series will tackle kid's horror as you’ve never seen it before... on the playground, during recess!

In the first installment of this spine-tingling series, DAWN OF THE DEAD KID, Pacey Graham is the twelve-year-old shy new kid at Fall Valley Academy. His new school is massive, with hundreds of classrooms and sprawling grounds big enough to get lost in. At least it'll be easy for Pacey to hide in the shadows, just the way he likes it. But there's something else lurking in the darkness with him, something that will root through his feelings and force him to take a new bite out of life. We all know being the new kid is tough, but being the new kid who's turning into a ZOMBIE… that's just deadly.
