Zombie Mommy by Mt Anderson
Home from their latest Delaware crime-stopping adventures, Lily Gefelty and her friends Katie, Jasper, and Drgnan Pghlik face killer tarantulas and teenaged vampires when they try to rescue Lily's mother, who has been possessed by a menacing zombie that wants to take over the world.
The latest in Anderson's madcap pastiche series takes on the undead of upstate New York... The layers of nonsense grow ever thicker and funnier as our heroes encounter a haunted theater that advertises comical skits...Ha! Ha! Ha!, a ghost actress from French-occupied Russia (or was that Russia-occupied France?) and a giant Adirondack tarantula. Ridiculous in all the best ways.
--Kirkus Reviews, September 15, 2011
This fifth book in Anderson's good-humored satirical series gives new life-er, death?-to the paranormal horror novel and emphasizes the importance of reading comprehension if one is to avoid becoming a flesh-eating ghoul.... Kurt Cyrus's black-and-white illustrations aptly combine the hair-raising with the tongue-in-cheek; e.g., zombies in matching I'm with Stupid T-shirts.
--The Horn Book, November/December 2011
Anderson tucks in an oversize spider, a squirt gun that shoots holy water, and even a touch of romance, while Cyrus adds spooky illustrations to another action-packed episode in the Pals in Peril series.
--Booklist, October 15, 2011
This kind of fresh new addition to the series--not to mention its many laugh-out-loud moments throughout--is the reason kids will want to keep checking in with Lily, Jasper and Katie to see what fresh brand of horror and hilarity they'll stumble upon next.
