The Lunch Club are back in a zombie-filled Christmas mystery!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year at Pleasantville Elementary — but that doesn’t mean that all is calm. A mysterious gift winds up spreading more than Christmas cheer as student after student turn into mutant zombies. Where did this gift come from? Who is behind it? How can it be stopped? And how does a lava lamp fit into all of this?

It’s up to the Lunch Club to save Christmas — if they can save themselves first!

DOM PELLETIER a commencé à dessiner des caricatures dès son jeune âge et il n’a jamais déposé ses crayons depuis. Il a étudié la communication graphique à l’Université Laval de Québec. Puisqu'il adore le grand air, il a planté des arbres et voyagé partout dans le monde avant de commencer à travailler comme concepteur de jeux vidéo. Après une rencontre marquante au Salon du livre de Québec, Dom s’est associé aux Éditions Scholastic pour publier sa populaire série comique 100 blagues! Et plus.... Après la publication de 50 de ces livres hyper amusants, il a réorienté sa création vers l’hilarante série de bandes dessinées Les timbrés. Il vit avec sa femme à Saint-Liboire, au Québec.

DOM — a.k.a Dominique — PELLETIER started drawing cartoons at a young age and has never put his crayons down, studying graphic communications at Laval University in Quebec City. A lover of the great outdoors, he has planted trees and travelled the world before beginning work as a video game designer. After a fateful meeting at the Quebec Book Fair, Dom teamed up with Éditions Scholastic on their bestselling joke book series. Fifty very funny books later, he has translated his joke book success into the hilarious graphic novel series, The Lunch Club (Les timbrés). He lives with his wife in Saint-Liboire, Quebec.
