Review

The final book in "The Zombie Chasers" series, "World Zombination" is fun and enjoyable. John Kloepfer has his seventh-grade heroes save the world from complete zombification by traveling to Madagascar, Egypt, and China and facing various zombie and SUPER ZOMBIE enemies! The book is action-packed and funny and kids will enjoy the fast-paced book. I haven't read the other books in the series (this is book 7), but I understood what was going on thanks to summaries of their past adventures in this book. David Degrand's illustrations are amusing and definitely add charm, and Kloepfer includes some historical and scientific information into this book, but I wouldn't call it super-educational. As a vegan, I did appreciate the fact that the vegan character was the cure to the original zombie plague. I wouldn't say that this is a must-buy, unless you have the rest of the series, but kids will probably enjoy the humor and action.

Overall Book Score: good
