From Chapter 2
Max walked
over to the table in the back of the room where Eddy sat, put his backpack on the floor, and plopped
down in the empty chair.
Eddy looked
up from the science book, shook his head and went back to reading.
“What are
you reading?” asked Max.
Eddy ignored
the question and kept reading.
Max rolled
his eyes. “I’ve got a really cool idea for a science project.”
“I’ve
already got a project.”
“But you
haven’t even heard what my idea is.”
Eddy looked
up from the science book. “If it has anything to do with zombies, I don’t want
to hear it. That’s all I’ve heard about since dad spoke at Career Day
yesterday.” He turned his attention back to the book.
Max bit his
lip. “Then you’ll like my idea, because it has nothing to do with zombies.” He
put on his best smile. The same smile he used when he was trying to convince
his mom he wasn’t up to something.
