What do FBI agents, nuclear bombs, and horror movies have in common? In 1950's Sierra Madre, CA, four boys get pulled into an exciting adventure when the horror movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers is being filmed in their hometown. Things get more complicated when they realize that undercover FBI agents are investigating people (including real-life scientist Richard Feynman) that they think might be involved in selling secrets to the Soviet Union. The boys try to help in the investigation, but discover that things are more complicated than they first appear. The main characters of the boys are fictional, but Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a real movie and most of the other characters are based on actual people.

To his surprise he actually finds something worth buying, a strangely creepy-cute stuffed animal that he calls Zombiekins. Zombiekins looks like a cross between a bunny and a teddy bear with one eye hanging loose. Of course, Stanley pays no attention when the widow warns him to read the instructions. Will he be able to figure out Zombiekin's secret before his whole school is doomed?
