4th Grader Calvin and his friends have the opportunity to be extras in a zombie movie.  Benny’s uncle is a real life movie producer and he’s filming on their local beach.  But Benny is such a liar, can the kids trust that everything he tells them is true?  

Book 9 in the series brings the friends together again for another fun adventure.  Well written for the elementary boys, this series (and this story) will not disappoint.  Wanna make a movie?

This series is interesting. I think Calvin Coconut is a fantastic read. Top notch, and I wish every boy at my school would read them. I can't get 1 single checkout. Even after book talking them, displaying them. In desperation, I pushed one of them on a teacher for a read-aloud, and after a time, the students voted to not continue!!
