The Zombie Chasers #3: Sludgment Day
This third—and potentially final?—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–style gross-outs will have a ball as Zack and his buddies take down “a butt-load of zombies.” As always, Wolfhard’s squiggly, hilariously gut-wrenching illustrations steal the show, as he depicts such improbable, disgusting creatures as an “eight-foot-tall tongue-shaped glob” 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.
