There’s a Zombie in my Tree House by Ken Plume & John Robinson

Art by Len Peralta

I first heard about this book on the podcast Mail Order Zombie (mailorderzombie.com) and I was instantly interested in reading it. I’ve often wondered what a zombie children’s book would be like and I have to say this one was pretty good. I went to the books website and picked up a copy. The book is $10.00 and worth it.

A normal boy, Johnny from Cameron Lane lives a pretty normal life. After school be spends his afternoons playing up in his beloved tree house. Everything was great when he played in his tree house until an unwanted guest turned his life upside down. A zombie invades his marvelous tree house and forces Johnny to find somewhere else to play. Everyone asks why he’s no longer playing in his tree house. He replies that there is a zombie in his tree house and he can’t go up there.

Johnny was known for his imagination so no one believed his zombie story. His family beings to investigate his tree house, one by one they go. What happens to Johnny’s family? Is it just in his imagination? Is there really a zombie terrorizing his tree house? In order to find out you have to read the book.

Ok I’ll be honest; I bought this book mostly for myself. I told my wife it was for our daughter. I really liked it and I’m sure I’ll have a blast reading this to her over and over again. I really enjoyed this book, the writing was awesome and the art work was great. I love the real big eyes on Johnny. This book had me smiling and laughing throughout most of it.

Overall it was a pretty fun read. It was also a very quick read, I can’t complain about that because it is a children’s book. The story is a bit repetitive, but that’s good sometimes, just ask Dr. Seuss. I didn’t really care too much for the ending. As an adult I need an ending but to a kid this might be what they need to keep them thinking about the book. I’ll go ahead and give “There’s a Zombie in my Tree House” 4 Undead Heads out of 5.
