Zack decides to escape the Hot Zone himself and meet his family at the barricade. But as he plans his route with Rishi, glass shatters downstairs—the zombies are breaking in. Zack frantically reinforces the doors, buying seconds as creatures pour through the windows. With Scottie and his Louisville Slugger, he makes a desperate dash to the garage where his dad's e-bike waits. As zombies hammer the door, Zack pulls on his helmet and settles Scottie into the basket. The house is lost. Now, he has to save himself.

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.
