Tai Shan of the Dead was an action-packed story by Jean Lightner Norum. She is my dad's cousin and she wrote this book for the National Novel Writing Month. She really should get it published! It was a great story!
The 4 beginning chapters focused on the different people involved--the teachers, the students, the Chinese, and the terrorists. And the story unfolds from there. The terrorists are planning on attacking the giant panda habitats in zoos across the country. This is disastrous not only because of the deaths of the pandas, but also because the Chinese have a secret: they have stored dormant copies of the virus that has the potential to turn people into zombies. When the pandas' bodies are blown up, people close to them are exposed to the virus, and this has devastating results on the country!
I give this book 9 out of 10 stars!

9 out of 10 stars? Wow! Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it. I wish I had the time to edit it all and polish up the ending, but whereas I MAKE the time to write during National Novel Writing Month, I don't really do that the rest of the year. If I do eve do that, I might be asking your parents for some info on Memphis. Right now, though, I need to MAKE some time to quilt. I have two quilts to finish before August 18.
