I would give this book ten stars because of how the author describes the people. What happens is the pack of kids named Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose visit a cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana, called Old Forest Trail. They stayed in a hotel with Ruth Rose's Grandmother. Meanwhile, they see their friend, Jack. So, they go on a camping trip mainly to see alligator nests. Then, two graves in the cemetery get robbed! Jack goes to kneel on red clay. Then at night, the shining light of someone's flashlight awakens Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose. They go and explore. They see someone who is tall, bright haired, and is scraping red dirt off his pants. Dink suspects it could be Jack.

In the morning they see a trail of bare footprints; they follow this trail to meet a man named Byron. Byron was tall, bright haired, but most importantly, he has a shovel with red dirt! They immediately report to Ruth Rose's grandmother about the incident. So they go talk to Byron, he admitted he was taking his owl named Bill hunting. He found the thief's wallet. He pulled out the ID and showed it to them. Guess who the thief was! They called the NOPD and showed them the evidence.

Anyone who reads this book and others in the series should get an A in Reading for enjoying some of the most mysterious books in history.

I found this story to be entertaining and enjoyable. I found myself anxious to find out what Ruth Rose, Dink, and Josh would find on their hike. Would they get to see a Zombie or a alligator? Would the village people leave after their cemetary graves were being robbed? I felt like I was with the children when they got up at midnight and followed the glow of a flash light. They were very brave when they watched someone or something come up out of the grave. I'm sure that any adventurous person would enjoy this mystery.

I know this is a children's mystery book. But when I said I'll read any zombie book, I meant ANY zombie book. I figure when my two year old daughter grows up I could read this to her as a bed time story. I'll hold on to this book until then. For those of you who haven't heard of Ron Roy's A to Z Mysteries Series this book is #26.

Ruth Rose is visiting her grandmother, she lives in Louisiana. Her two friends Dink and Josh come along to visit. Ruth Rose, Dink and Josh are always getting into adventures. This book is no different. Jack, a friend of Ruth Rose's grandmother, takes the kids on a hiking trip. He is an active hiker and knows all the hiking routes. They all lead to a small village in the middle of nowhere. The day Jack takes the kids on a hike they come across a sign that reads "Beware of Zombies". Jack assures the kids there is nothing to worry about. The small village is big on Voodoo and they believe in zombies. Jack shrugs the sign off as a joke an outsider is playing on the villagers. Or is it?

A zombie with silver hair has been seen around the village late at night. Two graves have already been dug up in the cemetery. The villagers are scared and are thinking of leaving their homes. It's up to Ruth Rose, Dink and Josh to solve this zombie mystery. Is it all a joke? Could there truly be a silver haired zombie digging up graves? You'll have to read the book to find out.

I actually had fun reading this book. The reading level is ages 5 to 8 which made it a fast read. The kid inside of me loved it but the adult in me knew what was going on. It's not hard to figure out that there are no flesh eating zombies in the story. The only zombie related topic is that the villagers are big on Voodoo. If I was reading this book as a kid I would actually love it. The writing is well done and the story line was good. There were no spelling mistakes which is a plus.

Even though half way through the story I solved the mystery, it was still fun to finish. I'll have to give The Zombie Zone 4 Undead Heads out of 5.

I got my 7 year old a Kindle for his birthday, this was one of the books I put on it for him, he has since read it 3 times, once to the whole family he absolutely loves this story and we all found it rather entertaining.

The A to Z Mysteries is a good series. One books that I read is 'The Zombie Zone.' The children Dink,Josh and Ruth Rose have to find out the mystery of who is digging holes in the cemetery. While the children are finding the mystery they're also hiking through the beautiful forest. I recommend this book to anyone who likes good mystery books. I give this book 5 stars.

This book follows the same premise as the other A to Z mysteries. Three young children solve mysteries they happen to stumble across. The characters in this book, the three main children, are the type of children you want your children to be friends with in real life. They exhibit positive characteristics; such as, honesty, tenacity, bravery.

I would say the reading level is about at a 3rd or late 2nd grade reading level. The interest level probably peaks at about age ten for this series.

Well worth the money.
Enjoy.

I liked when they said they were going to see an alligator nest and it was pretty funny that they never got to see an alligator nest until the end. And also, when they found the robber looking for his wallet, I really liked that. It was also pretty cool that a good guy who's not part of Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose, found a clue. And the wallet that the good guy found was the bad guy's wallet. And it was good that he got caught. And I also liked when Dink spotted that guy on the table when they were going for lunch near by them and Josh saw him. And also, I thought he was a bad guy but it was pretty weird that he wasn't the bad guy. A different guy who was walking to that place, he was the bad guy.

i am 5 years old and i just started reading. I really liked Zombie Zone because it was so exciting. These books are easy to read. I am asking my daddy to buy all of them. I like zombie zone because its got grave robbers and zombies. This is more fun than doing multiplication table with mummy shouting a lot.

iT IS SO GOOD. I HAVENEVER SEEN A BOOK LIKE IT BEFORE!
