  Hours before the start of Savannah's Halloween night Zombie Crawl, Nick Caden investigates the mystery surrounding Heidi May Laveau's death. Once more, Nick's curiosity gets the better of him, only this time he brings along Wendy, his sister, to investigate the rumors that Laveau is one of the "walking-dead."

  Moments before the pair is set to leave the old fishing shack and return to their parent's rented condo, a body floats up from the dark depths of the creek and snatches Wendy!

  No one believes Nick when he claims Laveau's "zombie" pulled his sister away in a canoe -- even after Wendy proves impossible to find. But this kid-sister body-snatcher has a message for Nick from "beyond the grave."

  Now he faces the difficult task of sorting fact from fiction before his worst fears come true. It's a race against the clock to find his sister and discover the truth about the "undead" -- because the answer might be right under Nick's nose.

  Readers Are Leaders - Buy a Boy a Book!

  If you are a mom of boys in search of books for boys or boy chapter books, grab the Kindle copy of Dead Low Tide to see if it meets with your approval.

  The author writes for boys because educators have noted that girls consistently outperform boys in reading skills. Research bears this out. Studies reveal that the literacy gap between male and female students is both longstanding and worldwide. Since the author is male and has two sons, he writes for boys. But girls may also like the Caden Chronicles series.
