What's worse than discovering you have a zombie problem? Imagine
acquiring four more undead tag-alongs. . . . From the acclaimed
illustrator of Flora & Ulysses comes the second book in the Zombie
Problems trilogy, heralded as reminiscent of Roald Dahl in uniting the
macabre with realism.
When a zombie followed August DuPont home one day, he didn't expect her
to stick around. But Claudette is in no hurry to leave August's side.
And when he decides to go to Croissant City in search of the elusive
Zombie Stone, Claudette joins him. It's a good thing she does, because
no sooner had August set out than a mysterious white alligator began to
follow him. Reptiles aren't the only creatures to look out for, though.
When August is reunited with his dour cousins the Malveaus, and their
menacing mother, Orchid, finding the stone before they do takes on a
new urgency. Throw in a swamp doctor, a costume parade, a pop star, a
séance, a band of smugglers, and four new zombies, and you'd better
believe that August's quest is only going to get more complicated.
