REVIEW OF "ATTACK OF THE SHARK-HEADED ZOMBIE"

"This entry in the Stepping Stones series presents a fresh and appealing option for those readers who are new to chapter books. Adventure-prone cousins Henry and Keats find themselves in a pickle when they lose their bikes during a stunt at Steep Cliff Hill.

When their mothers deny their request for funds to replace them, a job seems like their only option. Responding to a cryptic advertisement, they find themselves signing on to clean Mr. Cigam’s decrepit and creepy mansion. Third on Mr. Cigam’s to-do list: “Battle and defeat the shark-headed zombie.”

With enchanted scepters, wizard spells, disappearing chickens, and magical tornadoes, this book reads exactly like the wandering imagination of a creative youngster, offering up an absurd premise that will be a hit with boys in particular and reluctant readers in general. Accompanied by black-and-white illustrations showing the boys and the zombie in action, Doyle’s reader-friendly and engaging story packs in a remarkable amount of action and fun."
