About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is curious about spooky topics like zombies but is not ready for genuine scares or horror. Zombie Season is a perfect 'starter spooky' story, packed with humor and heart. It follows a boy named Oliver who spends the summer in a town filled with zombies, but they are more quirky than creepy. The story cleverly uses this funny premise to explore powerful themes of friendship across differences, bravery in standing up for others, and the importance of not judging by appearances. It's a light, fast-paced read ideal for kids who want a laugh-out-loud adventure without any real peril.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The concept of death and the undead is central but handled in a completely metaphorical and humorous way. Zombies are not depicted as decaying or grotesque, but as quirky people with strange habits. The approach is entirely secular and comedic, divorcing the idea of zombies from any sense of grief, loss, or genuine horror. The resolution is hopeful and focuses on acceptance and friendship.
