Chapter 11 Summary

Jack makes grilled Twinkies with Lucky Charms for breakfast, and Quint announces that the radio is fixed. Jack tries to act thrilled but his heart beats fast and he can’t manage to stay calm. He fights through it and reminds himself of his mission: to prove how fun this life can be. He tells his friends they should celebrate and everyone agrees. Jack thinks about how Funland would be a great place to go, even if it’s the last time they’re all together. To solve the problem of getting there, Jack enlists the help of a friendly monster named Biggun, who is huge and strong. Jack also enlists the help of Dirk, who is skilled at building things. Dirk tasks Jack with finding two shopping carts, and Jack heads off to the supermarket alone.

Chapter 12 Summary

Jack successfully gets to the supermarket and finds two shopping carts, along with some Capri Sun. When he pauses to grab it, he accidentally topples the shelf, which causes several other shelves to topple. They break through the windows of the store and the zombies start clambering inside. Just then, the King Wretch swoops down and eats several dozen zombies, and Jack wonders if it was trying to save him.
