Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones Audiobook Summary

Ian was the 0ne who chased the majestic buck into the forest. (His motto: Act first, think later.) Kendra didn’t want to become separated from the other sixth graders, but she followed Ian anyway, despite what her analytical mind told her. PJ followed him too. Even though he was scared, he figured he might catch some amazing footage with his video camera.

They all hoped to return to the hiking trail before anyone noticed they were gone. However, the mountain had other plans for them: dark, sinister plans that only nightmares are made of.

Now they don’t know where they are. They don’t know how to get home. They don’t know what gruesome creatures lurk in the shadows–but when they find out these grisly ghouls are actually ravenous zombies, will they be able to escape the mountain with their lives?

This first book in the Gravediggers series is a scary, mysterious, wild ride that will thrill readers to the very last page.

It took a while before the three kids would work together, too long, really. But then it was great. The zombie battles are gruesome, gory and gag-worthy. Be sure your MG child is ready to read this.

the theme of this book is bravery. when Ian, Kendra, and Pj wondered off into the mountains, got lost, and had encountered zombies after going through graves, had to stay together and try and get back to camp while running from zombies. there was a part where Pj had gotten attacked by a zombie and Ian had to make a decision whether or not to hit the zombie and kill to save Pj. in the end he did save him by hitting the zombie in the head with a large stick.

This book was overall a really good book. It describes when three friends get lost in the woods during a school field trip. When they try to find their way back they suddenly are faced up against hordes of zombies. The three friends must figure out how to destroy all the zombies as well as finding there way back to the rest of their school. This book is funny as well as a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat with many twists and turns.

Interesting and Intriguing take for a zombie book aimed at preteens/kids.There is a humor through that I personally like. It's not Monstrumologist level of greatness but I'm looking forward to what manner of creatures are encountered in future installments

** spoiler alert ** This book is about a class hiking trip, with characters Ian, Kendra, and PJ. During the trip Ian, Kendra, and PJ get lost in the mountains and discover that they are being stalked by zombies! With the help of a witch Doctor and folk magic they defeated the monsters and escaped the mountains alive. The most interesting part is when they escaped with all the tension rising. It was a great thriller.

THREE WORDS: Spine-tingling Creepy FunMY REVIEW: I love me some zombies and zombie books are always a hit or miss with me. Christopher Krovatin's Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones is a definite hit! Sixth graders Ian, P.J. and Kendra travel with their school for a weekend camping trip full of hiking and wilderness training. The three students couldn't be any more different and aren't thrilled when they get stuck in the same group. But when jock Ian, film maker P.J. and brainy Kendra get seperated from their group and lost in the woods they must rely on each other to survive because they aren't alone. The living dead are out there and They. Are. Hungry!This may be a middle grade novel, but it doesn't lack any spine-tingling creepiness! Krovatin has crafted a super fun and entertaining story full of mystery, scary and exciting thrills and engaging characters.Fast and fiercely paced, Gravediggers takes readers on a breathless and addicting journey. A journey that genuinely and awesomely scared me in the best, most fun way possible. The scene Krovatin sets is deliciously and palpably eerie and cinetamatic. I felt the characters' fear and easily saw their story play out vividly in my mind. Krovatin weaves a fun story that is a wonderful blend of horror, humor and heart. The elements surrounding the origins of the zombies and the magic in the woods are really refreshing and different. And even though this is a MG book, the zombies are exactly what young readers crave- stinky, gross, grotesque, hungry for flesh and hard to kill. Yet, at the same time, the book isn't too scary, violent or gory and really is appropriate for the MG audience. The three young main characters are all likable and relatable in their own ways. Each chapter is told from the point of view of one of the characters, allowing readers to really get to know each one. Ian is a bit reckless and arrogant, but he has a good heart and funny outlook. P.J. is timid and shy at first, but grows a great deal throughout the book and ends up being very brave. Wickedly smart and endearingly awkward Kendra is my fave character. These three kids make an awesome and quirky trio and I really love the genuine friendship that grows between them. I love that the story doesn't feel farfetched or contrived, but frighteningly real and believable. There are plenty of gasp-worthy surprises and horrifying dangers to keep even young reader engrossed for hours. And young readers will appreciate how resourceful, brave and smart the three MC's are. As the first book in a series, Gravediggers wraps up one storyline nicely, bet sets the stage for Ian, P.J. and Kendra's next big zombie adventure. And Krovatin drops quite the unexpected bombshell at the end *wink wink*MY FINAL THOUGHTS: The Goonies meets The Evil Dead indeed! I had a ton of scary fun reading Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones. Krovatin offers readers an exciting zombie tale with plenty of thrills and chills, with enough oomph to entertain older readers, while remaining appropriate for younger readers. A spooky and exhilarating read!

The main character in this book is Ian. Ian and his friends were camping on a mysterious mountain, Ian and his friends saw a buck so they chased it into the woods. They got lost and couldn't find their camp, soon they found out the place they were at was filled with zombies. I like this book because I didn't expect zombies in this book.

I try to read Young Adult novels occasionally during the school year so that I know which ones to recommend to my students, and I now know that I can recommend Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones to those who want a spooky tale that isn’t too scary. Gravediggers focuses on three middle school students who head out to Homeroom Earth camp in Montana for a week of science immersion. Ian (a stubborn jock who strives to be popular), PJ (a scrawny film-buff), and Kendra (a socially awkward computer geek) are forced into the same camp group and reluctantly head out to pick wildflowers. Though Ian and PJ are friends, they rarely associate at school because Ian is afraid of being taunted, and Kendra’s only association with Ian was a time when he teased her in class for being nerdy.After only a few minutes on the trail, they get bored, and when Ian spots a large buck in the woods by the trail, they begin chasing it trying to examine it. After coming to a clearing and watching the buck bound off, the three realize that they are lost. Kendra’s compass isn’t working, and the three have no idea where they are going, but after hiking for ages, they think that they have finally found a safe haven in an abandoned old cabin. Soon they find that the cabin isn’t so abandoned after all – there is a skeleton in the basement and zombies hunting them down from the woods. What ensues is a two day race to outrun the zombies (and all of the other unnatural threats that haunt the forest).The book has great heart-pounding suspense, but the ages of the heroes seems a bit out of sync with the intended reader (while I think that some of my freshmen would enjoy the story, I don’t know that they would be interested in reading about middle school protagonists). Also, the action is great up until the last few chapters of the book when it appears that author Christopher Krovatin rushed an ending in hopes of possibly following it up with a sequel. Overall, this is a good read for middle schoolers or early high schoolers, especially for readers who are fans of Darrin Shan novels. From shelfishness.blog.com

What a great story and as funny as all get-out. I mean I laughed myself into a stupor reading this book. It's a book about teenagers who get lost in the woods on a school outing the kind to help kids get close to nature and learn to be outdoorsey and stuff. It's a trio - 2 boys and a girl a phenomenal girl I might add. There's Ian, PJ and Kendra who didn't exactly start out as friends, but before this outing is over they are and will be bosom buds for life. They run into zombies of all things and it's just too funny, although when I'm watching any zombie movie I don't be laughing because what is going through my mind is "what would I do?" Now, there's an idea for a show and I'm sure there's one in the making as I type.I like the way the story is told from the perspective of each of the kids, which is the way "It" by Stephen King was written, it really does keep a story interesting because nothing is ever seen or remembered the same way by everyone involved. Poor Kendra, she made the biggest mistake, but she redeemed herself quickly. O'Dea my favorite character by far - an extremely interesting being that the kids at first didn't trust, but eventually they had to, if they wanted off of that God forsaken mountain. If I was in a fox-hole I would sure wouldn't mind having this trio, plus O'Dea in there with me because they kicked ass. Love the way the story ended even though it didn't really end. Can't wait for the next book and I am looking forward to seeing them in the movies. And I'm sure no "Harry Potter" was ever this funny, not by a mile, plus I'm just partial to zombies.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I look forward to continuing the series as well! This story had always kept me on the edge of my seat and was sometimes hard to put down when every page was filled with some kind of suspense, surprise, and action. I really became engaged in this book.The book is about three sixth graders that had went on a homeroom science trip with their class. They had all wondered off into the forest after a deer. They had later found themselves lost in the mountain, and that is where the story begins. They find themselves completely separated from their class, while night begins to fall. They take shelter in an abandoned creepy, old house. They find strange, unexplained things in the basement of the house, that's when the story takes off.This story is filled with many scares, creepy moments and lots and lost of suspense and mystery. It keeps you turning page after page and the book is hard to put down. You become very attached to the story as well. Every moment in the book has caught my attention and had kept me reading and reading. I would highly recommend this book to anyone! Especially if they love suspense, surprises and scares. This book is great for anyone, and is very hard to put down.

The plot of this book is fast paced with surprise and suspense hiding around every corner. Like most books, the start is a little slow, but once you get to the action, it's hard to stop reading. The zombies are well described, painting a gory, repulsive, amazing picture in my mind, making the zombies seen on shows today seem tame. I also enjoyed the backstory, adding new players to the zombie game, such as Wardens and Gravediggers. It was a great thriller. However, the fear factor was just not there for me. No one died and there were very few actual close encounters with the zombies in uncontrolled conditions. In the end though, it is a very enjoyable book and I would recommend it to any thrill-lover who wants a little scare.

I really enjoyed the book wery well. This book shows the way of friendship that makes people smile with a touch of horror. I enjoy zombies a lot more now. Hehe :). This book may give you nightmares if you really are easily scared. If you aren't, and tolerate horror, this would be just fine. But if you're into gory and super bloody stuff, then I don't really suggest this for you. You may not really be contented with the amount of blood here. LOL. I rate this a 10/10 for the brilliance of Krovatin's writing and the perfect story to come up with to scare middle graders. This book is perfect for those with an average knowledge for vocabulary. Read this book! :)

This Zombie novel follows Ian, PJ, and Kendra, an unlikely trio, on a wilderness adventure for school. After being separated from their class the trio find themselves lost on a mountain surrounded by a wall to keep in the dead. Through a series of misunderstanding, the three release the zombies from captivity and only through the help of a warden is the threat to the world-at-large mitigated.

At first I was really excited to read the book, because I just love zombies but now, when I think back about the book, it was an okay- okay book. Indeed, some parts were cool, but the rest were, hmm.. So-so. I gave it 5 stars at first, but I just reduced it to 4 stars. Soo.. I recommend it to below 15 years.
