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
