The Zombie Chasers #3: Sludgment Day
This third&#x2014;and potentially final?&#x2014;book in the Zombie Chasers series serves up more of the same: a stinky, slimy, decomposing cast of undead shamblers quelled by a cast of wiseacre kids. Though the constant skirmishes have a numbing sameness, fans of Garbage Pail Kid&#x2013;style gross-outs will have a ball as Zack and his buddies take down &#x201C;a butt-load of zombies.&#x201D; As always, Wolfhard&#x2019;s squiggly, hilariously gut-wrenching illustrations steal the show, as he depicts such improbable, disgusting creatures as an &#x201C;eight-foot-tall tongue-shaped glob&#x201D; made out of beef. If that floats your boat, here you go. Grades 4-6. --Daniel Kraus--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
