Description
When the zombies start disappearing, most kids would think that's a reason to celebrate. But Jack Sullivan, an ordinary middle schooler surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, isn't so sure. An eerie shrieking noise seems to be summoning the undead, and Jack suspects something sinister is behind their vanishing act. Book #2 in the series.
Quick Summary
Jack Sullivan, a regular middle schooler, has survived the zombie apocalypse with his ragtag group of friends and a snarky, living monster named Quint. When zombies start disappearing and an eerie, high-pitched shriek echoes through the town, Jack suspects something far worse than the usual undead is on the horizon. The story mixes laugh-out-loud humor with genuine scares, making it a great pick for kids who like a little thrill but also enjoy jokes and sarcasm. It's especially good for reluctant readers because the short chapters, cartoonish tone, and fast pace keep the pages turning without feeling heavy. Parents will appreciate that the book balances spooky action with heartwarming moments about friendship and teamwork, and there's nothing too graphic just enough creepy atmosphere to keep kids on edge. If your kid loved "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" or the first "Last Kids on Earth" book, they'll likely zip through this one and be eager for the next installment.
