Review Quotes

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 vomitus 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

"A quick, fun read, loaded with jokes and middle-school sarcasm." - School Library Journal

"If there's an award for the grossest descriptions of zombies, Kloepfer would win it. Preteen boys will love it." - St. Paul Pioneer Press

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

"Fans of Garbage Pail Kid-style gross-outs will have a ball as Zack and his buddies take down "a butt-load of zombies." - ALA Booklist
