Description
Stay calm and remain HAPPY. Help is on the way.
Keegan knows there’s something off about Happy Town.
The isolated, high-tech company town is too perfect—with a dome keeping out bad weather and self-driving vehicles rumbling throughout town delivering residents to work and school. Keegan is excited to grow his art skills at Happy Town’s state-of-the-art middle school, even if he has less time to see his mom and stepdad because of their new jobs.
But when his parents become obsessed with working and eating Happy Corp Meat Cramwich (the microwavable sandwich crammed with meat) and Keegan is sentenced to Mandatory Work Opportunities for refusing to follow Happy Town’s shady rules, he discovers a dangerous glitch in the system that’s turning the town’s happy residents into mindless zombies—literal zombies. With his new friends Gloriana and Tank by his side, he’ll need to find a way to destroy Happy Town’s happy system—before there’s nothing left.
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.
