Zombie Mommy: A Pals in Peril Tale by M.T. Anderson - Ages 9+

Zombie Mommy

Pals in Peril Book 5

What's the Story?

Our intrepid heroes are home from their Delaware crime-stopping excitement, only to discover that Lily’s mom has become possessed by a menacing zombie who wants to take over the world! (Or, at least, the world of stage and screen.) Thank goodness Lily’s friends Katie, Jasper, and foxy Blue-Hen-State monk Drgnan Pghlik are around—accompanied by Jasper’s Astounding High-Pressure Holy Water Extruder Gun, of course—to help save the day.

What's the Buzz?

"The layers of nonsense grow ever thicker and funnier as our heroes encounter a haunted theater ..., a ghost actress from French-occupied Russia (or was that Russia-occupied France?) and a giant Adirondack tarantula."
Ridiculous in all the best ways. - Kirkus Reviews

"Although there are gruesome scenes including zombies, vampires, and more, the silly and outrageous actions of our heroes make this a fast-paced and fun book." - Common Sense Media

Zombiekins by Kevin Bolger - Ages 9+

Zombiekins

What's the Story?

The little town of Dementedyville is as boring as they come--but a mysterious stuffed animal is about to liven things up . . .

Stanley Nudelman buys Zombiekins at the yard sale of his neighbor, the Widow Imavitch. It looks cuddly and creepy-cute--but expose the TEDDY OF TERROR to moonlight, and strange things happen. . . . 

When Zombiekins gets loose at his school, Stanley finds himself in GRAVE danger. Because if his teacher Mr. Baldengrumpy discovers he turned the whole school into zombies, Stanley will be in detention till he's, like, 80!

Can Stanley and his best friend Miranda save their schoolmates from eternal zombiefication? If not, will Mr. Baldengrumpy even notice?

What's the Buzz?

"Take the “Bunnicula”, “Goosebumps” and “Captain Underpants” series and mash them all together, and the result would be something resembling Zombiekins. An elementary school teacher for a decade, Bolger obviously knows what will amuse his audience..." - Canadian Review Magazine

 "For those of you who worry about finding books for reluctant boy readers, look no further!" - Book Aunt

"The pictures in the book are very cool. The cover is perfect for the story too. So if your looking for a book to read you should get Zombiekins." - With A Book

 "Bolger skewers the teachers... and their attitude ... But his tone never reads as snarky or snide. He skewers dodgeball. He skewers Winnie the Pooh, Barney and Elmo. No one is safe, not the interfering neighbour, not Stanley, not even Bolger's own horror story, as he parodies the genre."  - Globe & Mail

"Onomatopoeia, puns, and alliteration rule the school in this ghastly gala of gleefully goofy gore by Kevin Bolger" - Library Journal

 "Anyone who knows me well, knows I'm pretty immature.  One of the best parts of being a mother for me is discovering the childhood I missed.   I bought Zombiekins for my son yesterday.  He loved the book, but I think I've loved it even more." - The Zombie Review

Zombie Joke #1 presented by Undead Ed

Series: Undead Ed by David Grimstone - Ages 9+

Undead Ed and the Howling Moon

Book 1

What's the Story?

Forget everything you've ever seen or heard about werewolves, zombies and vampires because Ed Bagley's going to tell you the single most important fact you'll ever learn: BEING UNDEAD SUCKS ...especially if you're a kid. 

On his 13th birthday, Ed Bagley is hit by a truck and killed. But things go from tragic to freaky when Ed wakes in the sewers beneath the town of Mortlake with only a note from his missing left arm to explain that he's undead: a zombie, a walking corpse whose skin rots and oozes. And as if all this misfortune wasn't enough, there's a lunatic killer on the loose in Mortlake ...and only Ed can stop him.

What's the Buzz?

"Undead Ed and the Howling Moon is such a fun book, and is ideal for fans of the Scream Street series. It's gruesome and clever, with some great illustrations alongside the text." - Wondrous Reads
