My first tease is from
Moore Zombies: The Search for Gargoy
by Wendy Knuth
My tease from 31% in the eBook
“Hey, Baby Zom, how about a game of Hungry, Hungry Humans?”
My Review
Baby Zom isn’t happy.
Baby Zom doesn’t want to go camping.
Baby Zom doesn’t want to play Hungry, Hungry Humans
Baby Zom wants Gargoy.
But Gargoy is lost.
Moore Zombies is a delightful picture book. Each page has a wonderful illustration depicting the scene as it’s told.
I would love to have seen the pictures in color, but they’re in black and white in the eBook. They are still fun to look at and there’s so much to see in each one.
Baby Zom is adorable, even if she is a zombie. And she looks to her older siblings to help find Gargoy.
Her brother Kamper is like a typical boy. He’s always on the go and his room is a mess.
Next oldest is her sister Gothina. She likes pretty clothes and accessorizes with her creepy crawlies.
And the oldest of the bunch, Broheimer loves to read. He’s the nerd of the family.
Together they set out to find Gorgoy.
This would be a great story to read aloud with young children. But I think older kids and grown ups would have just as much fun following the dirt trail to the end of the mytsery.
Did you know zombies love tomatoes?

My second tease is from
The Alien Next Door
Scary Neighborhood Adventures
by Donna Trueman
My tease from 5% in the eBook
…the old woman turned and looked right at him. And that’s when he saw it…
It was only there for a second, but it was unmistakable.
My Review
Lukas has a new neighbor. Ms. Weggley may look like a sweet little old lady, but in fact she’s an alien.
His parents don’t believe him, just chuckle at his vivid imagination.
Even his best friend Kianna laughs when he tells her about his neighbor.
The only one who seems to believe him is his dog, Lola. And she doesn’t like the new neighbor. It’s rumored aliens eat dogs!
Lukas sets out to get proof about Ms. Weggley and ends up in the pickle of all pickles.
I’d recommend this book to all young readers. Lukas, his sidekick Lola, and Brianna make a great team. and this story lets your imagination take flight. Who hasn’t wondered about the strange neighbor. Maybe there are aliens among us.
I hope the author writes more of these Scary Neighborhood Adventures. I gather from the ending, Lukas and his pals have another neighbor to worry about. And this time it’s not an alien.

Synopsis
Lukas Matthews has been eager to get a new neighbor ever since his old neighbors moved away. But the day the moving van shows up next door, Lukas learns that his life is about to change forever. His new neighbor is not the kind of neighbor he was hoping for at all. His new neighbor, Ms. Weggley, is not the sweet little old woman she appears to be. The old woman has a secret–a secret that only Lukas seems to know . . .
As the resident alien expert in his school, Lukas can spot a being from outer space when he sees one. His new neighbor looks like a sweet little old widow, but there are telltale signs that she could be something other than human. The old woman refers to Lukas and his friend as “specimens,” she makes jokes about eating spiders, and, when most people aren’t looking, her eyes glow an eerie green!
Concerned for his safety and the safety of his best friend Kianna, Lukas hatches a plan to prove his case and expose his neighbor’s true identity. Will Lukas be able to thwart his alien neighbour before she can carry out her devious plans or will it be too late to save his family and friends and the entire neighborhood?
