Maggot and Fungus have to hand in an essay on their family history. In order to avoid telling the truth about the Zombies, they disguise the truth. However, the teacher realises this and suspects that something is up! She calls Funerella and Rictus into her office and announces that their children must be terribly unhappy because they feel the need to invent a parallel universe. She advises them to go on holiday together in order to get the family communication working again and even suggests a super campsite. She just forgets to mention that, by chance, she will also be there at the same time... to spy on this family that intrigues her so much. Maggot and Fungus are furious, going on holiday with the parents is bad enough but with the teacher! Our little zombies pull out all the stops to avoid being caught out by the teacher whilst Chef, Wilson and the others have their own problems with the arrival of the school headmaster who has decided to spend his holidays at... the Zombie Hotel.
