Grampa's Zombie BBQ

by Kirk Scroggs Narrated by Johnny Heller

Overview

One day in the school cafeteria, Wiley stands on the table and invites everyone to his grandpa's annual barbecue. Everyone cheers!

Later, Wiley and his friend Jubal are experimenting with a chemistry set. They develop a dangerous new explosive that Wiley names PPK. Then the boys fill a container with it and place it on a shelf right next to Gramma's containers of paprika. The next day, just as Grampa's barbecue festivities are getting underway, the recently deceased begin rising from their graves! And they sure are hungry for barbecue! When the zombies devour all the delicious grub, their appetite shifts toward the living. Only Vera the lunch lady's spicy beet borscht can save the party-goers now.

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 2-5-Wiley and Grampa triumph over the supernatural forces invading their hometown. In the first book, they meet Colonel Dracula and his "Mudsucker"-a blood-guzzling vampire truck. The next title puts toxic borscht to good use in battling an army of zombies that arrives uninvited at a backyard barbeque. Nothing seems to faze Wiley and his grandparents, who are rather inventive when it comes to vanquishing their enemies. Each story finishes with a "Crackpot Snapshot" game, where readers must find all of the small differences between two almost identical pictures. With black-and-white cartoons on every page, this series is similar in appearance and theme to Jim Benton's "Franny K. Stein" (S & S) and Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" (Scholastic) books, making it a welcome high-interest choice for younger or reluctant readers.-Kathleen Meulen, Blakely Elementary School, Bainbridge Island, WA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
