From the publisher

A new series from the bestselling author of Dear Dumb Diary and Franny K. Stein!Fresh from his intergalactic adventure, Victor is casting about for something new to apply his formidable know how to. The obvious next step is cello-making. However, the not so mellifluous sounds that emanate from his creations are enough to wake the dead. That’s right, there are zombies let loose and it’s up to Victor, Patty, and the long-suffering, always faithful Dumpylumps to not get eaten.
