Better Off Undead by James Preller

2.0

Adrian (last name Lazarus - wonder what that's referring to...) was not wearing a bike helmet (duh!), and died when he got into a bad accident. Somehow he came back to life, but he is now afflicted with terribly dry skin, loss of appetite, and is constantly harassed by clouds of flies. Things are different, but it's not just because he is undead. Globally things are falling apart as well - bees are dying, forest fires are raging. Then he discovers that he is being spied upon by a droid. He and two friends are determined to figure out what is going on.
A serviceable mystery/adventure with some humor thrown in for good measure. This is very different that Preller's previous works about bullying and is suited for a younger audience.
