Imagine five beautiful sisters living in the English countryside during the early 19th century.
When two handsome bachelors move into the estate next door, flirtation and rumors of marriage abound. However, love is not the only thing lurking in the moonlight...
England has become overrun with the most dangerous of plagues: zombies!
These undead, brain-eating monsters roam the hills and estates of the town of Meryton, dining on wealthy landowners and their unassuming servants. While many local citizens arm themselves with guns and daggers in an effort to survive sudden zombie attacks, the Bennet sisters have all that and more.
Trained by their father in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, these beautiful maidens bash skulls, tear off limbs, and rip apart the rotting carcasses of the undead fiends! But can they wipe out the plague of zombies and still find true love?
The only way to find out is to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, published by Quirk Books in 2009, written originally by Jane Austen, expanded by Seth Grahame-Smith, and gruesomely illustrated by Philip Smiley. This book is for readers age 14 and up.

Finally, here is a link an original video made by me. It’s not great, but it could be used as an example of what students might do as an alternate book report:
