But through it all, Zack is just an ordinary kid who lives in New York with a talking cat and a teenage grandma and a werewolf teacher and a freakshow orthodontist...Okay maybe Zack isn't quite your average kid, but he's funny and his life is full of amazing and astounding things which should keep you coming back for more of his adventures, wondering where he will end up next. For Zack Greenburg, life may be a little weird but it's never boring.
