The Zombie Chasers: A Hilarious Zombie Survival Story for Children and Reluctant Readers (Ages 8-12)

Zombie Chasers is fast-paced, action-packed and fun! Young readers will revel in the consistently fresh and numerous gross-out descriptions (which is perfectly legit, zombies ARE disgusting)which keeps the book funny, rather than scary, but still with great tense scenes to keep you turning the pages. The unlikely collection of survivors' bickering at each other provides good comic relief with the zombpacalypse happening all around them. Fresh and amusing takes on cures and causes of this zombie infection. Humorous illustrations will provide inspiration for zombifiying doodles in a boring class. Cool first book, looks like it should be a good series!

One ordinary evening Zack and his best friend Rice find themselves in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. They join forces with former tormentors Madison (Zack's sister's best friend), and Greg, (jock giver of bathroom swirlies) to try and reach safety at a local army base. The illustrations are gruesome, pustule- and phlegm-filled, and oh-so appealing to the teen and tween set. I highly recommend this book. It can be read in one or two sittings and your reluctant reader will not be able to put it down. It is not full of redeeming social commentary. It will not help your youngster explore his emotions. The characters are stereotyped (the geeky nerd, the vacuous cheerleader, the equally vacuous jock). And yet despite it all, the book is pure, tongue-in-cheek entertainment.

My 9 year old son loves these books. We grabbed the third at a book sale last summer and he talked about it so much I started looking for the rest of the series. Good price and he read it immediately.

I bought the first three books of this series for my 7 year old nephew for his birthday. He is loving them! He is a big reader and is a bit ahead of his grade in terms of reading level. In the past he has read The Wimpy Kid Diaries and The Adventures of Captain Underpants. He wanted to move onto Harry Potter, but I thought this would be a good stepping stone before delving into the huge HP books! My nephew laughs out loud when reading these which I think is fantastic--a book that makes young boys want to and enjoy reading, what more could you ask for!

For what is basically a kids zombie story it was okay. A group of kids trying to stay alive at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. Have they figured out the cause or so possibly a cure? Guess I will have to read the next one to find out.

I have a reluctant reader who is enjoying this book and finds the story to be a BLAST. That alone deserves 5 stars for the mere fact that no prompting is required during our evening reading time.

I gave this 5 stars because my kid is a picky reader; if he likes it he'll read for an hour, if not, it's more like homework than fun time. This book was so good, we have bought the others in the series. Yay!

Went into my son's room last night at 10:00 pm and he was reading this book!! Went to wake him up this morning and he was reading this book! He can't put it down, he was even reading it on the way to school today. Needless to say, I will be ordering more from this series. I keep telling my son that once you experience a great book you will love reading, thank you John Kloepfer for proving me right.

excellent

my son loved all 7 books he read them all in 3 days.

Extremely satisfied!
