This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
The book which was written by M.R. James. Is a take on a Goosebumps series. I have noticed that there are a few grammar errors. But one of the things that stood out the most to me, was the way the book read was that it was jumping around and I kind of lost track of what was going on and who everyone was. But otherwise it was an okay book. ( )

Amanda and Billy are happy with life in the town of Boo. They enjoy working for Mr. Night at Antique Books, and now the town is caught up in the excitement of twelve-year-old Emily Stringer’s zombie movie. Amanda and Billy convince Mr. Night to take part too, but as it turns out, Emily’s plan gets out of hand and suddenly the zombies are real. Now it’s up to them to help save their town from the undead without becoming zombies themselves.

“Night of the Zombie” by M.R. James is a children’s thriller in the vein of the “Goosebumps” and “Shivers” series. Although the story itself is not high caliber and is predictable, with a few grammatical errors noticeable, a mid-elementary-level target audience would likely enjoy it. The short chapters and mild thrills are a plus for kids as well. The narration shifts from first-person in the case of Amanda to third-person when Emily takes center stage. As a character, Amanda is rather idealistic and at times over-the-top as a heroine, and several of the scenes between her and her brother are melodramatic. However, there is a clear delineation between the good guys and the villains, which is acceptable for a young target audience.

I received an ebook edition of this story as part a giveaway in exchange for an honest review. ( )
