Light on the story and character and heavy on pus-filled zombie descriptions.
Cute. Kids will probably really love it. Very action packed and funny.
This is a young readers book I read to my daughter. In the same vein as Captain Underpants and it's ilk, it has a lot to endear itself to pre-teens, including lots of middle school bathroom humour. As far as a zombie book, it has lots of them. In fact, apparently the entire world has turned to zombies. And Kloepfer goes into great detail describing the pus, blood, boils, slime, gore, and muck that make zombies zombies. For a kids book about zombies I thought it was great; just enough scare to make it a believable "horror" story offset with kiddo humour to soften it into something palatable for a nine-year-old. Be warned, it ends on a cliffhanger in an attempt to get you to read the following five books in the series.
this was a fun, awesome & zombified read!
the storyline was cool and the characters were fun!
I miss when books were about the STORY and not the character development, editing, and all that blah blah blah blah! lol I miss these type of the books!
great read if your into zombies and middle grade fun!

My kids and I read a few chapters a night until we finished this and we all enjoyed the storyline. My kids have already asked me to start over reading it again.

I understand gross humor has an audience. Usually 9 & 10 year old boys. I keep that in mind when I read books like this. I understand that I am not the audience. However, what I do struggle with is that most 2nd to 4th graders do not necessarily read "series" books in order. They pick up a book out of sequence at the library and then they go back and look for another. And this is a series book that needs to be read in order. The "cliff-hanger ending" isn't so much a cliff-hanger ending but just the chapter preceding the first chapter in the next book. Unfortunately that means I likely won't place it in the library or book talk this one. Tweaking that last chapter so that you know more is to come but wrapping up the book would have made all the difference for me.:-(
