Anna and her friends are ready to enjoy their holidays from school when the unthinkable happens - a zombie apocalypse.

This book was a cute, quick read. Your typical zombie apocalypse book, but in Scotland.

This is a novelization of the best zombie Christmas musical in existence. I realize it's the only zombie Christmas musical in existence, but even if this was a genre with many entries, AatA would still be the best. 

Was the novelization as good as the movie? No, but it was close.
