UNDEAD GIRL GANG

Lily Anderson

VERONICA MARS meets THE CRAFT when a teen girl investigates the suspicious deaths of three classmates and accidentally ends up bringing them back to life to form a hilariously unlikely--and unwilling--vigilante girl gang.
Mila Flores and her best friend Riley have always been inseparable. There's not much excitement in their small town of Cross Creek, so Mila and Riley make their own fun, devoting most of their time to Riley's favorite activity: amateur witchcraft.

So when Riley and two Fairmont Academy mean girls die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact. Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life.

Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders, but theydohave unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer...before the killer strikes again.

Lily Anderson is a school librarian and Melvil Dewey fangirl with an ever-growing collection of musical theater tattoos and Harry Potter ephemera. She lives in Northern California. She is also the author of THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN ME IS YOU and NOT NOW, NOT EVER. She tweets @ms_lilyanderson.

Undead Girl Gang's authentic teen voice and quintessential characters transport the reader right into high school. The witty humor and suspenseful plot make this spell-binding book a fun read for older teen fans of realistic fiction with a twist of magic.

Undead Girl Gang is a grand spell of a book. One part revenge, two parts twisted friendship, all parts undead girl glorywith a dash of wicked romance. If you mixed "Hocus Pocus," "Mean Girls," and "The Craft," this would be the bewitching result.

Mila's a snarky and hilarious fat Mexican witch who accidentally brings her dead best friend, and two dead frenemies, back to life so they can figure out the truths behind their deaths. This is an intersectional, body-positive zombie murder mystery (WHEW!) that I seriously couldn't get enough of. (10 Reasons Why Your Next Read Should Be a YA Book) Read more...
