Zombiekins by Kevin Bolger

Bolger, Kevin. Zombiekins.  206 pgs.  Razorbill, 2010.  $10.99.  Language-G. Sexual Content-G, Violence-G.  This book is about a boy named Stanley who goes to old widow’s yard sale and finds a little toy called, “Zombiekins.”.  He decided to buy the toy and the widow said if he bought the toy, he would also need to buy a special bag of candy as well.  Stanly takes the toy to school one day and the Zombiekins escapes from his backpack and turns everyone into Zombies.  How will Stanly solve this dilemma?  I really liked this book because it is a funny spine chiller. The book is very surprising.  I recommend it for grades 2 and older.  EL. ADVISABLE.  Reviewer:  Student ML, age 11.
