Editorial Reviews

Goofy illustrations reinforce the zaniness of this lightning–fast read.” — Booklist
Praise for The Zombie Chasers: “Kloepfer’s first is a Zombieland for the middle-school set: funny, off-color and extremely gross. A great pick for the child who thought Diary of a Wimpy Kid just needed more motile corpses.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A quick, fun read, loaded with jokes and middle-school sarcasm.” — School Library Journal
“If there’s an award for the grossest descriptions of zombies, Kloepfer would win it. Preteen boys will love it.” — St. Paul Pioneer Press
Praise for The Zombie Chasers 2: Undead Ahead: “Written with tongue firmly in cheek-and other body parts all over the landscape-this book will appeal to reluctant readers, particularly middle school boys.” — School Library Journal

Gr 4–7—Readers are in for some close encounters of the zany kind. In the series opener, Kevin Brewer and his friends got more than they bargained for when a communication device they created to contact aliens resulted in their inadvertently summoning an alien fugitive to Earth. In this latest installment, tons of other alien criminals are on their way, and there's plenty of action in store for the foursome. A quirky, fast-paced read, ideal for sci-fi fans and reluctant readers alike.

Earth is again in danger from the galaxy's most vile criminals. Can the team of STEM summer campers called the Extraordinary Terrestrials save all?In series opener Galaxy's Most Wanted (2014), Kevin, Tara, TJ, Warner, and their unfortunately shrunken friend, extraterrestrial cyborg cop Klyk, trounced outer-space criminal Mim, whom the kids inadvertently called to Earth with the galactoscope they invented. Now, Mim's cronies, Zouric and Nuzz, have arrived. After freeze-bombing the camp, they set about taking over the planet with nanotech mind control. The kids escape but soon lose their new ally, Marcy, recruited from the girls' soccer camp next door. Can they escape a brainwashed army of reptilian soldiers, find their comic-book-writer idol (who presciently creates comics detailing the dangers they face), and save the world? Kloepfer's second humorous sci-fi adventure turns on the action on the first page and does a good job sustaining it all the way through. Edwards' goggle-eyed, goofy line drawings extend the fun (final art not seen). Readers could actually skip the first book, which was slow to start, and begin here. The satisfying conclusion nicely sets up Volume 3, likely to be a less-terrestrial escapade. Fans of Kloepfer's Zombie Chasers series will find this outing less gross but just as imaginative.Good, loony science-fiction fun. (Science fiction. 8-11)
