The whole countryfrom their parents to the presidentis counting on them. Can the Zombie Chasers save the nation from brain-gobbling ghouls Or will the US of A become the US of Z
Praise for UNDEAD AHEAD: "Written with tongue firmly in cheek--and other body parts all over the landscape--this book will appeal to reluctant readers, particularly middle school boys." -- School Library Journal
Praise for THE ZOMBIE CHASERS: "What makes this latest entry into the developing middle-grade zombie canon stand out is Kloepfer's gleeful insistence on gore and Wolfhard's squiggly drawings that really bring the laughs. Stick around for the next vomitous volume." -- ALA Booklist
"Kloepfer's first is a Zombieland for the middle-school set: funny, off-color and extremely gross. A great pick for the child who thought Diary of a Wimpy Kid just needed more motile corpses." -- Kirkus Reviews
John Kloepfer began his writing -career at five years old with a one-sentence short story: "And then one day the monsters came." The Zombie Chasers is his first novel. He lives in New York City, where he is hard at work on the next adventure of Zack, Rice, and Madison.
