Glenn Wood’s Deadhead is an exciting thriller story following an experiment going wrong in the most unexpected way.

After becoming the number one target for a group of bullies at his school, thirteen-year-old Spencer Langley and his unwitting friend Regan create a robot zombie bodyguard to scare them away. Working better than he expected, he uses it for other tasks as well but in an unfortunate accident the body comes alive and can think for himself.

Meanwhile, Constable Cadence Green is investigating her partner, Constable Garret Hunter’s, death, which was deemed an accident, and is certainly surprised when she comes across his resurrected corpse.  Read more

Deadhead is a magnificent book that really hooked me in and I hope that it will hook you too.

It’s all about Spencer and his friend Reagan, who together borrow Spencer’s mum’s car so they can go to the cemetery to dig up Garrett, a former cop who died on duty. Spencer wants to use Garrett as a frame so he can install machinery and other robotics in him, so he can basically have a remote control zombie cop.

Spencer needs Garrett as a bodyguard because he made a boy called Carl and his gang really mad, so he thinks he needs the protection.  Read more

Deadhead by Glenn Wood is about a boy named Spencer Langley, who is 13, and his not-so-pleasant holiday.

Spencer is really smart. He can make or fix anything, and I mean anything. He gets into some trouble with a high school Yukuza gang, who are planning to raid Spencer’s house in a couple of nights. Spencer and his best friend, Regan, need to do something about it. Out of the blue, they decide to build a bodyguard. Actually, it is more like rebuilding a bodyguard. The next minute, they are robbing the grave of Garret, a dead police-officer.  Read more
