Is there a famous group of girls in your school that think they are better than anyone else? Well, Megan must deal with that group of girls, and they are mean zombies!!!
My brief summary of the Mean Ghouls book
Megan, a newly turned zombie girl, must attend a Zombie Academy due to her Zombitus (an illness that turns you into a zombie). When she arrives, she quickly learns what to expect from this school. All the teachers are zombies, and there’s a group called the Zom-Bs, the popular zombie kids at the school. Will Megan bide her time there and wait for the cure?
My thoughts
This book was electrifying and very zombie-ish. The story has some scary parts but it is not too frightening. It was fun to learn about Zombitus and how it transforms people. The characters were realistic and well-described. I liked the idea of mean popular girls because there’s no way the story would be complete without mean, rotten, zombie-ish girls.
My rating
Are you a zombie lover, and do you like having a good scare? So this book is just for you!
