The New York Times bestselling duo Zombie and Brain are back in another friendship-filled adventure where they bring their brain power to the classroom.

Every day, Brian the brain waits for his zombie boy Zeb to come back from school. He loves hearing about all the amazing things Zeb learned, and wishes more than anything he could be in the classroom, too.

When Zeb gets nervous for a big project, his dad tells him to use his brain. But how can Zeb use his brain if Brian is at home?!

Brian hurries to the elementary school in search of his zombie buddy, but when surrounded by so much brain power, this mind may begin to wander . . . .

This companion to New York Times bestseller Zombie and Brain are Friends is a pun-filled classroom romp, following Brian as he explores all the fascinating subjects school has to offer, perfect for back-to-school and Halloween read-alouds.
