Rise of Zombert by Kara LaReau

5.0

I know this book is for middle school age readers, so maybe I channeled my middle school years...I enjoyed this book. It's told via different characters' voices and it's a bit grisly in places...zombie cats remember...but age-appropriate I reckon. The main character enjoys going to the library and feels neglected by her family since they adopted twin babies and discovered blogging family life to the exclusion of hot meals once they get the right light to photograph the food, it turns cold. Mellie finds Bert the cat and adopts him even though he is likely the ugliest cat with the worst breath in the world. Bert is something fo her to love.
Evil machinations from a town corporation, animal experimentation, family issues, middle school angst....It has it all...
I can definitely recommend this book.
