Brian and his friends are not part of the cool crowd. They're the misfits and wily troublemakers--the ones who jump their high school's fence to skip class regularly. So when a deadly virus breaks out, they're the only ones with a chance of surviving.The virus turns Brian's classmates and teachers into bloodthirsty attackers who don't die easily. The whole school goes on lockdown, but Brian and his best friend, Chad, are safe (and stuck) in the theater department--far from Brian's sister and his ex-girlfriend with a panic attack problem. Brian and Chad, along with some of the theater kids Brian had never given the time of day before, decide to find the girls and bring them to the safety of the theater. But it won't be easy, and it will test everything they thought they knew about themselves and their classmates.

Beneath the heat of the scorching Phoenix sun, a nightmare unfolds within the confines of a high school performing arts department as a group of misfit teens confronts a horror beyond imagination.
When a viral plague sweeps through the city, turning its victims into bloodthirsty monsters, Brian's high school becomes a fortress and a prison. The imposing fence surrounding campus holds the infected at bay, but it also keeps Brian's sister, Mackenzie, and his ex-girlfriend trapped in different corners of the campus.
Laura, Brian's ex, lives life shadowed by a crippling panic disorder. But the medication stashed in her backpack becomes a lifeline in a world gone mad -- if she can be reached. Time is running out as one of Brian's friends falls victim to the infection...
As tensions rise, Brian's group of drama-kid survivors attempt to find Laura and Mackenzie, and escape the clutches of the infected before the darkness within their fellow survivors becomes more terrifying than the bloodthirsty hordes outside.
Sick is a fast-paced tale of survival, loyalty, and the inescapable horrors of a world transformed. Join Brian and his band of misfits as they navigate the thin line between humanity and the monstrous...
where salvation is uncertain...
and survival comes at a chilling cost.
Dive into the gripping horror of Sick now, but be warned: once you enter, there may be no way out.
Praise for SICK
"The gore and action will leave enthralled readers thrilled and then sated with each kill on either side."
―Booklist
"Between the pacing and the heroes' salty, blue language (full of lovingly creative, genital-inspired insults), reluctant readers who love zombies will devour it, right up to the abrupt end."
―Kirkus Reviews
"Sick is well written, with great detail, even if it is a little gory."
―VOYA Magazine
