Zombie Elementary
Author: Howard Whitehouse
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Reviewer: Julie H.
Summary: In this hilarious, zombie-filled comedy,
fifth-grader Larry Mullet tells the story about how he and his friends fought
back against the undead monsters that overran their town. Larry and his
friends, unnoticed by any of their parents, battle their
baseball-team-turned-zombies while trying to search for the source of the
outbreak and destroy it. The book is filled with helpful “Zombie Tips” and is
written to teach readers what to do if zombies come to their school!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this silly read. I love
zombie books in general, but I really liked that this quirky book, aimed at
middle-school readers, had the right balance of comedy, excitement, and action.
This book has some age-appropriate gore but is not overly graphic (for a book
about zombies) and has a happy ending. The book is somewhat long at 244 pages,
but I think it was well worth the time! Read it yourself to see how Larry and
his pals triumph over undead teachers and dreaded school lunches!
