Description
Catastrophe looms in North Goethalsburg!
When twelve-year-old J.D. is tricked into taking possession of a book of spells, his best friend turns their teacher into a zombie. The zombification of Mr. Katz creates general chaos and a not-so-terrific time for near-genius J.D.
Teamed with his best friend Rodney, twin troublemakers, and an obnoxious ghost, J.D. must figure out how to change Mr. Katz back from one of the undead before he:
1. Escapes the janitor’s closet; 2. Eats their brains; and 3. Wears J.D.’s spleen as a hat.
Can four boys armed with a slingshot, two boxes of jelly donuts, and a handy zombie guide battle their mindless teacher and live to tell?
Probably not.
You’ll have to read to find out.

As intriguing as the book is, J.D. locks it away so as not to invite trouble. But his best friend Rodney (whose middle name is trouble) manages
First of all, I’d like to stress that I am an adult, and this book is intended for kids. Quite young kids I imagine—the MC is twelve years old—but I read it with a great deal of enjoyment. There are lots of stories around where the main character is in this age group and has a totally improbable amateur job that usually involves crime busting, lending his invaluable help and superior know-how to the stupid adults who do this kind of thing for a living. Thankfully this is not that kind of a story
