"Youngsters hungry for laughs will eat this one up" – Booklist
"Funny, audacious, and not for the faint of heart" – Kirkus Reviews
A laugh-out-loud spooky tale about a lonely zombie who is very, very hungry…hungry for friends, that is!
“OOPS! I just ate you!” I said with a slurp.
My small belly grew as I let out a burp.
Being “un-dead” is AWESOME. No parents! No school! But something is off ― this zombie just can’t R.I.P. Why? Because he’s always hungry . . . but it’s not brains he has a mouth-watering hankering for. He’s hungry for making friends!
When he sets out in search of buddies, the zombie meets a boy on a bike, a girl with an artistic flair, some joggers, and even an angry mob. There is only one problem: He keeps EATING them! They each go down with a slurp and his belly grows inch by inch with each new pal he makes. As a result, the zombie is still lonely and craving a companion. Hey . . . will YOU be his friend?
