Ghoulstone, Rotterly Undead Ed 206
pgs. Razorbill, 2012. $10.99. (Rating: G)
Ed Bagley is not
having great luck. He is embarrassed in front of his crush, electrocuted, and
finally hit by a car. But that’s not the end. He wakes up as a stinky, rotten,
worm-infested Zombie. Turns out his whole town is full of the undead, and he
finds a new werewolf friend. When his rotten arm takes off on its own, it becomes
an evil entity –Ed must embrace his new self and bravely face his arm.
I am just going
to say it. I think kids will really like this book. I would liken this book to the candy bars for
sale at grocery checkout. Does it belong in a school library? Only if you need
to employ some pure entertainment shelf fillers. It’s an easy
read despite the length. It has a larger font size, with a simple plot and easy
to understand words.
