![]() It’s not as scary as it sounds but is more of an adventure with monsters which happens to include zombies. I liked this first book of the series - when he’s attacked by monsters more than once, Jack learns he’s a Monster Hunter who is now fair game to be hunted. Jack Templar Monster Hunter: The Templar Chronicles: Book One by Jeff Guns (SERIES) (ages 10 – 15) Roach (ages 7 – 10)ĭon’t you hate it when you feed your neighbor’s fish the wrong food, and it turns into a giant zombie? Monstrous Stories #1: Night of the Zombie Goldfishby Dr. ![]() ![]() Illustrations throughout make this even more appealing to read and imagine. He and his best friend, Quint, live in an upgraded, well-defended treehouse where they plan to rescue his crush June (she doesn’t need rescuing, being quite capable) and fight zombies. At least, that’s how Jack approaches life and zombie fighting. In this exciting book, the zombie apocalypse seems a bit fun. The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier, illustrated by Douglas Colgate (ages 8 – 12) If your child likes these graphic novels, there are TONS of books in the series. Yes, there are zombies and kids with plants trying to kill the zombies (just like in the video game) but you’ll be surprised (as I was) to read comic panels like these: a man calling the police saying, “This is a mysterious call” or a woman reading her notebook with the words “no choice” and remarking, “This leaves me no choice,” HA.

(I’m a big baby because of my nightmares! Now you know my level of scaredy-cat-ness.) I found that the zombie books for kids ages 6 – 13 were funny, even kooky, and not gross (which is what I expected) or scary (which is what I feared), or oriented towards voodoo (which just creeps me out.)
