I like the book because of the adventures, and it was funny. I think the book was for mostly boys and for ages 11+. Certain parts of the book were not that great and a little boring to read. But I think it was a good book.

I loved this book! Absolutely loved it! My 11 year old, who reads well but would rather do something else, gobbled this book up in 2 days. The characters remind me of great boy character movies like Super 8 and Goonies and it had the perfect mix of creepy grossness that makes for a pleasant afternoon. Easily a 5 star book.

A fun book for young or not so young readers. I laughed out loud in places.

V good for a scary book

I read this book with my seven and four-year-old after convincing them they'd like it. But the truth is, I wanted to read it. We TRIED to read one chapter a night, but it ended up being between three to five chapters. My seven-year-old would have preferred to stay up all night to have me keep reading. This book was not only funny, spooky, and exciting, it was also really clever. I've just got to share my favorite part: "As Angelo continued to talk, Nick thought that he'd never realized how intelligent his friend was..." "Nick's stomach growled again. 'You're really smart,' he said." "'What?' Angelo looked up from his book.""Nick licked his lips. 'I'll bet your brain is huge.'" "'What's wrong with you?' Carter asked, taking his hand out of the bag.""Nick blinked. 'What do you mean?' Why were his friends staring at him so strangely?""'You're drooling,' Carter said."Ha! I just love that part, and it's just one of many clever ways the author lets you figure things out. And he does it in such humorous ways. J. Scott Savage is quickly becoming a favorite author of not only my kids, but me--and that's saying something. I typically don't read middle-grade books. But for books this good, I'm willing to break genres. :-)

Case File 13: Zombie Kid is middle grade, in the same vein as Marion Jensen's Almost Super. In fact, I thought a lot about Marion's book as I read this one. The story centers around three friends who love monsters and how one slowly becomes one. We get a description of a zombie transformation from the perspective of the zombified person, and it's amusing to consider what that would actually entail.It was a fast read/listen. It flowed smoothly and held just enough tension and fright to pique the interest of middle grade readers without being too scary. And, since it is jr. high school kids, there's also some references to the sounds our bodies make about which kids of this age spend a lot of time thinking and discussing. Whenever I find a book for children that I enjoy reading, I recommend it, and I recommend this one.

To be frank, I hate zombies and think they're the worst idea ever invented. Despite my inherent dislike of zombies, this book was still really good. The plot wasn't exactly about zombies, it just involved them, and I still really enjoyed it ^.^

Even though I did not finish the book it was a great book. The Three main charectars are teenage kids and they love holloween.But there trick or treating dreams are crushed when one of them has to go down to luisianna for 2 days.

My 9 year old and I read this together and it was a riot. Each night she looked forward to reading more... and it was a great bribe for getting her room cleaned. ZOMBIE KID is funny, clever and suspenseful--perfect reading for the middle grade audience and their parents alike.

Zombies, three humorous boy best friends, and a mystery to solve. This book has it all! Case File 13, Zombie Kid involves Angelo, Nick and Carter, best friends who love monsters and Halloween. This Halloween is different though; at the last minute, Nick’s great-aunt passes away and Nick must go with his parents to the funeral in Louisiana. When in Louisiana, Nick encounters an amulet on Halloween that is cursed and brings it home. Once at home, Nick notices many changes; he begins to reek of a horrible smell, he cannot feel pain, and suddenly he starts to lose appendages! He is becoming a zombie! With the help of Angelo and Carter, the three boys solve the mystery of the amulet by traveling to an undead world to free other zombies and are able to turn Nick back into a human. This book is very creative and entertaining. The plot, which sounds over-the-top, is surprisingly very well-written. For a children’s book, the length (which is over 250 pages) might seem daunting, however, J. Scott Savage keeps the storyline flowing and it moves seamlessly from event to event. All of the pieces come together in the end for a solid closure. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a picture of Nick and his body changes slightly. This gives the reader a prediction of what events might occur within the chapter. There are humorous elements as well. The titles of each chapter say things such as “Do not read this chapter before going to bed!” or “This part is even weirder than the last”. It is a great story that includes comical characters and an interesting adventure.

October;Case Files 13;Scott Savage Zombie Kid take place in a small town in Colorado where three best friends Nick,Carter and Angelo are completely fascinated with monsters. Just before Halloween of their 6th year the three boys are preparing to go Trick or Treating. They call themselves the ''Three Monsterteers'' Their mission was to fill and ENTIRE shopping cart full of candy. Little did the boys know Nick was going to have to leave because his Aunt Lenore recently died. At the funeral Nick found a lustrous Red ruby surrounded in 24k gold.It was an amulet. Instantly Nick put it around his neck. Slowly he grew weaker,His heart rate dropped to 1 bpm, and his body temperature dropped to 42 degree's fahrenheit. So the ''Monsterteer's'' traded long and far to find a underworld that was housing one of the most dangerous creature on planet Earth. The Zombie King. So the overall theme so far is saving Nick from getting enslaved by the Zombie King, And the Main Idea so far is trying to stop the cursed amulet from changing Nick. Then Nick realized he never should've touched his aunt Lenore's amulet.

Zombie kid ( Case File 13 # 1) is about three preteens boys, Nick, Angelo, and Carter. When Nick aunt dies he is forced to go to her funeral. He searches around and finds a strange amulet. Then something strange happens. This book is a very adventurous, with strange twists. It has a very creative theme to it. It has some silly things that made me laugh out loud. I thought that some of background characters had more potential to make a more interesting story. Personally, I thought it was a good book.

I listened to the audio book with my 9 year old son and we both loved it.First, the narrator was excellent.There honestly weren't any boring parts. Every chapter ended with us wanting to move on to the next to find out what would happen next. We love the different personalities of the characters and I personally adore the one constantly eating candy. In the end, I was so nervous that the kids were done for, but some really fun things happened and the story was resolved in an entertaining and satisfying way.We can't wait to read the next ones! This was such a great read.

Okay, I am NOT a horror/zombie sort of person. I was worried I'd wimp out five pages in and have to put it down.But I found this book surprisingly entertaining. Apparently, I can do middle grade horror. I LOVED the voice in this story. The boys sooo totally sounded like boys and I was laughing at their stupidity. The other characters were well written too. I was easily able to fall into that world and immerse myself into the story.It'd totally recommend this book to others.

AAAAAAAA this book felt like a breath of fresh aif after so many classical and bad books. Yes its a kids / early teen book but goddamn i enjoyed it. The characters were written so nicely, the story didnt have any plotholes and it made you want to help the main characters. And not to forget the classic boys vs girls drama haha

I really liked this book. I’m not much of a horror or scary book reader, but the boys’s humor broke the creepiness up enough to leave me laughing most of the time. And the characters really did act like 12-year-old boys. I was immersed in this book almost immediately. I’ll definitely read another one.

This was SUCH an easy 5 stars! We both loved reading it and so many times I was torn between just wanting to keep reading and getting this one to sleep...GAH! Can't wait to get our hands on the next one and our amazing library had kindly seen to making that happen... just a waiting game 'til it arrives now 😆
