There just aren't enough good zombie children's picture books. Thanks goodness for Peanut Butter and Brains! HA! This is just as cute as it can be. ReThere just aren't enough good zombie children's picture books. Thanks goodness for Peanut Butter and Brains! HA! This is just as cute as it can be. Reginald doesn't want brains. He wants PB&J. The other zombies don't know what to think about him, but soon, Reginald shows them what they are missing. Loved it....more
SICK by Tom Leveen This is a one-sitting read. SICK is fast paced and action packed. I LOVE Brian and his tough, mohawk wearing best friend, Chad. AftSICK by Tom Leveen This is a one-sitting read. SICK is fast paced and action packed. I LOVE Brian and his tough, mohawk wearing best friend, Chad. After a virus spreads through their town, they end up stuck in the theater department with a few of their classmates. The main problem is staying away from the very violent killers outside of their portion of the school. The second problem is, Brian is separated from his younger sister and girlfriend, Laura.
We see a TON of violence as Brian and Chad, along with the theater kids, fight their way through the zombies in their attempts to rescue the two girls and eventually escape the confines of the school grounds. (They are locked in with a HUGE metal fence)
THIS IS NOT A TEST by Courtney Summers would be a good pairing with SICK. Both books involve a group of students trapped inside a school avoiding dangerous zombies and deciding whether or not to attempt escape....more

Velvet's parents disappeared and ever since she has been trying to take care of her 10-yr-old sister while continuing to go to school. It isn't working very well. Everything is so expensive and she just doesn't have time to keep up with her homework and pay the bills.
The government has developed a way to control the victims or Connies. They are rounded up and placed in rehabilitation centers also known as the Kennels, since they resemble dog pounds, and fitted with shock collars that keep them docile. If the Connies for some reason don't remain calm, the shock collars also have the ability to kill.
One day Velvet gets a call from a Kennel telling her that her mother has been picked up and is now fitted with the collar. She can come and get her to go home as long as she is prepared to keep an eye on her. At first it is very hard for her to restrain her mother when she has to leave the apartment, but she knows it has to be done.
Slowly, but surely, her mother begins to make progress and responds more and more like a normal person. But, when signs of the Contamination start to show up again, the government isn't willing to take any chances. Connies aren't just being rehabilitated any more. This time it is much worse.
CONTAMINATED is a truly unique zombie novel. The idea of the zombies being rehabilitated and able to come back to a normal life is a nice change from the "have to kill them" plot. Garner does a great job of mixing post-apocalyptic, survival, and romance together to make an unputdownable story....more
