This is a young readers book I read to my daughter. In the same vein as Captain Underpants and it's ilk, it has a lot to endear itself to pre-teens, including lots of middle school bathroom humour. As far as a zombie book, it has lots of them. In fact, apparently the entire world has turned to zombies. And Kloepfer goes into great detail describing the pus, blood, boils, slime, gore, and muck that make zombies zombies. For a kids book about zombies I thought it was great; just enough scare to make it a believable "horror" story offset with kiddo humour to soften it into something palatable for a nine-year-old. Be warned, it ends on a cliffhanger in an attempt to get you to read the following five books in the series.

Gross. The beginnings of a story. Can find an audience.

I won my copy of THE ZOMBIE CHASERS from Goodreads First-reads giveaways
My kids and I read a few chapters a night until we finished this and we all enjoyed the storyline. My kids have already asked me to start over reading it again.

I understand gross humor has an audience. Usually 9 & 10 year old boys. I keep that in mind when I read books like this. I understand that I am not the audience. However, what I do struggle with is that most 2nd to 4th graders do not necessarily read "series" books in order. They pick up a book out of sequence at the library and then they go back and look for another. And this is a series book that needs to be read in order. The "cliff-hanger ending" isn't so much a cliff-hanger ending but just the chapter preceding the first chapter in the next book. Unfortunately that means I likely won't place it in the library or book talk this one. Tweaking that last chapter so that you know more is to come but wrapping up the book would have made all the difference for me.:-(

The book opens with a detailed description of a little brother being kidnapped and held hostage by his sister and her friends. Like terrorists, they put a bag over his head and duct tape his arms and legs to a chair. When the bag comes off, he's staring into a webcam and being humiliated by a group of older girls who go on to post the video online and email it to the entire school.
Bullying like this is what's causing kids in real life to opt for suicide. It's not something to be written about in such a light-hearted manner. Any book that normalizes such serious behavior is not one I'd recommend, especially to the target age group of 8-12.
