Reviews

Praise for The Zombie Chasers #3: Sludgment Day: “Fans of Garbage Pail Kid-style gross-outs will have a ball as Zack and his buddies take down “a butt-load of zombies.” - ALA Booklist

Praise for the 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's Pinoneer 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
