Zombified by Blake A. Hoena thrusts young readers into a compelling dystopian vision. Omar, the protagonist, finds himself five years in the future, navigating a post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious "Collective" reigns and his friends are either dead or changed. This chapter book combines survival adventure with a quest to decipher the vision's meaning for a nascent "Revolution." While listed for ages 4-11, its themes of peril, loss, and a dark future make it most suitable for the older end of that spectrum, particularly 8-11, appealing to those who enjoy suspenseful, action-packed stories.
