When Hannah and her father move into the town of Maplecrest, Hannah finds herself into the familiar role of the “new girl”. Hannah notices that the popular group in her new school are a set of blonde, blue eyed cheerleaders. Lukas, a school misfit, warns Hannah that the cheerleaders are dangerous creatures that hold sway over the entire town.
When Hannah is invited to join the cheerleading squad she jumps at the chance to enjoy the benefits of popularity, including the hunky boy friend. What lies underneath the surface, though, isn’t pretty, and once Hannah’s “in,” she may not have an out. Zombie Blondes is an effective little tale of terror that taps into the anxieties that go along with wanting to fit in successfully in high school. It should be noted that Zombie Blondes is much more of a horror tale than many of the other young adult “horror” books. Zombie Blonds is recommended for public and school libraries.
