Summer vacation is almost here! And Pea O'Neil is stoked to
try out the new local BMX track which is finally open. He and his gang of
friends can ride all summer long!
But when Pea tries a back flip, he unwittingly opens a
portal to another dimension and hordes of flying mutant zombie rats are
unleashed upon the city. With the help of an otherworldly talking cat sent to
help prevent the demise of humankind, Pea and his friends must hunt down the
hungry mutants and send them back before the portal closes.
But when the zombie rats attack a neighbor man, the boys
have to enlist the help of a graveyard looney and the city's stray cats. With
time running out, Pea and his gang track the monsters to the city's sewer
system. But in the city sewer of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it’s eat…or get eaten.

EXCERPT FLYING MUTANT ZOMBIE
RATS
Two blocks till the viaducts—under street tunnels that channeled
runoff water through the city—and then at least they’d be off the main drag.
They passed two teenagers perched on their front stoop, staring at them. It probably
looked like they were being chased by a mob of crows. No time to explain.
When they hit the viaduct, Pea and Paco hugged the berm hard,
practically riding sideways. The others rode dead through the three inch-deep
water in the middle. The flock of mutants hissed and squealed as they tried to
advance on them. They got closer, now that the boys couldn’t duck and weave as
much. Pea sped up and led everyone underground.
They left the light from the city behind, relying on a few cracks
of light from above to show them the way. Good thing they’d all taken this path
so many times before, they could stick to the dark, watery trail in the center,
knowing by heart when and where to turn.
“Where are you going?” Tad yelled. “They’re gaining on us.” He
swung a baseball bat he must have had in his saddlebag over his head to ward
off a rat flying too close.
“The park!” Pea yelled over his shoulder. He risked a glance past
Tad, into the tunnel behind him.
Red eyes. Tons of them.
