The Bailey School Kids series features two stories about their soccer coaches who exhibit strange behaviors, leading the kids to suspect they might be zombies. In the first story, their coach Ms. Jeepers displays unusual strength and speed, and has strange red goo on her shoes, sparking suspicions of her being a zombie. However, she turns out to be a dedicated coach with unconventional methods. In the second story, Coach Graves starts acting oddly after an encounter with a strange old lady, leading the kids to think she's been zombified. They must find a way to break the spell before their big game. Both stories highlight themes of teamwork, dedication, and not judging by appearances.
