Bookroo's summary

In the Junior Monster League's track-and-field competition, Patsy the Zombie faces a unique challenge: keeping her head on straight. As she competes in the Die-athalon, her nerves threaten to unravel her chances. Can her team, including Karl the werewolf, help her discover her hidden talent before it's too late? With the finish line in sight, teamwork might just be the key to victory. Will Patsy find her place among the monsters, or will she fall apart under pressure?

From the publisher

Don’t fall apart. Try to hold yourself together. This is no time to go to pieces. There’s a zombie at the finish line! It’s time for the Junior Monster League’s track-and-field competition. Unfortunately, Patsy the Zombie just can’t seem to hold herself together for any of the events. She’s trained for the Die-athalon but keeps losing her head before she can finish. But then the team pulls together and realizes that they all have a special talent for their own event…even Patsy.
