really wish my kids were into the whole zombie genre as I am because I would love nothing more than to share this book with them. The youngest seems to be on track for chick lit stuff, the middle one seems to be headed down the best seller route, and the older one only reads during his study halls at school and only Lillian Jackson Braun. So it's just me and I guess you'll have to take my word for it.

This book is defiantly directed towards a younger audience. If you can understand that and deal with the writing than you will love this book. However everything is not all shiny and happy. People will get munched on by the zombies and several deaths occur including some people that are close to the kids in the story. However you get to see how a group of tweens persevere during a catastrophic event that would send must adults stumbling to their knees. These kids will be able to get back up and fight their way to survive several days while waiting for rescue from the adults.

Rhiannon Frater has a way of writing that puts the reader right into the situation at hand. It will seem like you are fighting alongside the kids and this is with every book of hers I have read. She is an amazing and talented writer.
