The ever popular zombie is here with some elementary level twists. Leo a self-proclaimed Zombie Zapper, and his friend, Roger, half-zombie, are looking for the truths about the zombies living all around them. Leo has a website dedicated to exposing zombies while Roger tries to find and create a cure for himself. Part mystery, part science fiction, and very humorous, each book in the series has a different angle where the characters try to find out what is turning people into zombies. Scientific research is discussed, as well as deductive reasoning to solve problems. New vocabulary terms are explained through the characters' dialogue. The series is great for lower level readers, it will hold their attention. Recommended, Library Media Connection October 2014
