Zombie Elementary Book Review by Xristopher

Zombie Elementary, a novel written by Howard Whitehouse, is a fictional novel. The novel follows two children named Larry and Kyle, who are in the middle of a zombie outbreak and who live in a fictional city named Acorn Falls. What starts out as a fight for their lives turns into them both trying to fight for their city.

The central idea in this book is teamwork and survival and these come about when Larry and Kyle learn that there is a zombie outbreak and they both have to work together to defeat the zombies. Larry first realizes that there is a zombie outbreak when he sees people turning into zombies and immediately knows he has to do something about it.  Kyle and Larry have been learning about zombies and zombie hunting by watching movies and taking notes, then they start actually using the things they learned from the movies in real life.

            The author presented the two themes of teamwork and survival very well throughout the book. The author presented the theme of teamwork the best when Kyle was surrounded by zombies and Larry was able to help him out by killing all of the zombies around him. Without Larry in this situation, Kyle would have most definitely died. The thing that made this book very interesting is that the author took themes that we see in every day life and was able to add zombies into it which was very exciting. Some people may not like this book because it has zombies or because it is too gruesome, but personally I thought it was a very entertaining book. I think this book is very memorable because unlike most other books this teaches about teamwork but it adds the variable of zombies into it.

This book leaves the reader with the message that teamwork is always going to be useful in life in any situation such as war, zombie outbreaks, or even sports.
