Zack is home alone—and something is terribly wrong in Maplewood. Strange sounds echo through the neighborhood, emergency alerts crackle over the radio, and the streets outside don’t look the same anymore. As Zack pieces together what’s really happening, he realizes the danger isn’t just on the news… it might be right outside his door. With Scottie at his side, Zack must decide whether to hide—or prepare.

Parent Note:
Stay Home Z is a suspenseful adventure story for tweens. While it features zombies and moments of tension, there is no graphic violence or gore. The story focuses on problem-solving, bravery, and friendship.
