Praise for 'My Zombie Dog'
The perfect gift for a boy turning 14, a book called My Zombie Dog by Charmaine Clancy, especially if he’s already got a pet that he can curl up with and read this great story too.
YR Reads
A super-fun, light-hearted zombie tale for middle grade readers. Plot tied up nicely and characters are likeable. Boys in my year 7 classes have enjoyed this one.
A. Laurens
My Zombie Dog is a funny and quirky tale of a boy, his little sister and a very unusual dog. There is a mystery to be solved and the twist in the tail of the story was fabulous. Clancy's work is fresh and exciting.
