He has a two friends, Gezink and Evil-O (Olive backwards), and he attends Westwood Elementary school.Of course, things don't remain normal in Dresden for long.One day, a new student comes to Westwood Elementary. His name is Imre Lazar. Evil-O is immediately enthusiastic to get close to him, which makes Bob take an instant disliking to Imre. Some time later, when a runaway piano is smashed against a wall, with Imre in between them, he and some other nearby kids are taken to a doctor to be looked at, and a shocking discovery is made.Imre is technically dead.Immediately the news becomes public, and Dresden becomes the center of a media circus. Half the town wants Imre gone, and are quite vocal about it, protesting his presence at the school. The other half is trying to make Imre feel welcome and supported during this tough time he's going through. And in the middle of it all, Bob is dealing with his own dislike of Imre, and how much time Evil-O is spending with him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The book was released on March 25th, 2014.

Green-Eyed Monster: Much of Bob's initial dislike of Imre comes from the fact that Evil-O took a rather instant liking to him.

Not Using the "Z" Word: People try to not use the word "zombie" around Imre, feeling it's become a Fantastic Slur. Imre is quite okay using it.
