Happy Town
α’αααΈααααα βα’αα‘α·α ααααΌαα·αααα
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 thereβs something off about Happy Town.
The isolated, high-tech company town is too perfectβwith 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 Townβs 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 Townβs shady rules, he discovers a dangerous glitch in the system thatβs turning the townβs happy residents into zombies. Carnivorous, meat-craving, literalΒ zombies. With his new friends Gloriana and Tank by his side, heβll need to find a way to destroy Happy Townβs happy systemβbefore thereβs nothing left.
