But here is one of the title cover pieces:





For fun, here're the puzzle pieces  of the cover (part of them): 



Here's the synopsis:


Life can suck when you're sixteen. It can suck even worse when you're not-quite-dead.

Sixteen-year-old Rebecca Herrera Hayes faces every teenager's biggest nightmares: bad skin, bad hair, and worse . . . turning into one of the living dead.
   Becca's life changes forever when her cousin Spence comes back to their small Wisconsin town carrying a deadly secret—he's becoming a zombie, a fate he shares with her through an accidental scratch.
   The Z infection, however, has mutated, affecting younger persons like her, or those treated early enough, differently. Now she must cope with weird physical changes and habits no girl wants to be noticed for. Then she meets Gabe, a good-looking part-Z like her, and fears falling for him. After all, how can he, who shows hardly any Z symptoms, be interested in someone like her?
   But time is running out... Becca needs his help as she and her cousin Carm search for their missing mothers and fight off hungry Zs.
   Most of all, she needs to find something, anything, to stop this deadly transformation before it is forever too late...
