Josh, Ruth Rose and Dink went to a small town but the town seems to be haunted because of a cemetery. Someone seems to be digging up the graves. They think they can find out who is digging up the graves in the cemetery. I think kids should read this book because it was really good.

This book is about a group of kids solving a zombie mystery. This book was a good book but, not something I would discuss in class. Older kids would love to read it and try to solve the mystery.

Not scary, just fun!
My great nieces love the A to Z Mysteries chapter books, so when I found this one at a thrift store, I decided to read it and see what the books are like. So glad I did! The three main characters, Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose, head to the Louisiana bayou for vacation, but soon get
What I liked: super fun mystery! Nothing scary (even if the cover may look a little creepy), so it’s perfect for the 6-8 age range it is intended for. The three main characters are likable and relatable, and the plot moves quickly and keeps the reader’s interest. It’s a great introduction to the mystery genre for kids, and would be good as a read aloud for younger kids.
What I didn’t like: not much. The ending was a little odd, although it was informational, and didn’t exactly tie into the mystery, but that’s not necessarily unusual.
All-in-all, a fun read.

pulled into a new mystery. Locals of the small village tell stories of a silver-haired zombie that has been digging up graves. The three sleuths decide to do a bit of investigating to see if it’s really a voodoo zombie, or something else.What I liked: super fun mystery!
