A Small Zombie Problem by K.G. Campbell
3.0
August DuPont lives with his Aunt Orchid in a dilapidated mansion. A mansion he hasn't set foot outside since he was brought as a young child. The DuPont's were once wealthy, but after a family betrayal their hot sauce dynasty is down to the last few bottles. August spends his time reading, creating elaborate paper mache sculptures, and watching television through binoculars.
When he receives an invitation to visit the wealthy cousins he didn't even know he had, August cannot wait to get outside. The possibility of making a friend, his first friend, propels him forward, even with the danger of a giant alligator on the loose. But, the rich Malveau's have more than friendship on their minds when they invited August over, it seems that hidden somewhere in the broken DuPont mansion there is a treasure worth a fortune! Will August find the treasure? And if he does, will he give it to the Malveau's, or use it to save his own fortunes? And what will he ever do with the strange friend he picked up in the DuPont family crypt?
A fun story that would appeal to readers in 3-5th grade who enjoyed Kate Klise's 43 Old Cemetery Road series or [b:A Taste for Red|5136179|A Taste for Red|Lewis Harris|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344670990i/5136179._SY75_.jpg|5203068].
