My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish: Fins of Fury

by Mo O'Hara, Marek Jagucki (Illustrator)

Overview

When Tom zapped Frankie the goldfish back to life with a battery, he certainly didn't expect him to become a BIG FAT ZOMBIE GOLDFISH with incredible hypnotic powers. But it turns out that a zombie goldfish is a great pet to have on your side when your big brother is an evil scientist whose plans need to be thwarted.

There's something fishy going on in the woods, as Tom and his best friend Pradeep take Frankie on a camping adventure. Could the Beast of Burdock Woods be real?

Then, something weird is going on with Mark. He's actually being . . . nice! Meanwhile, paranormal pets (including a teleporting tortoise, a mostly invisible poodle, a levitating budgie, and a vampire kitten) are missing all over town. Can Tom and Pradeep find out what's going on before Frankie disappears?

“A kooky, zany little story about a boy and his pet zombie goldfish, Frankie. The kids in my library are already clamoring for this book and I can't get it ready for the shelves soon enough for them. Keep up the good work.” —Wendy A. Emlinger, on Amazon.com on My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish

“I saw this book on sale at Walmart, and I couldn't resist picking it up. The cover just popped out at me. It's a good sized book for young readers. I read it in one sitting, and I loved it!” —Angela Roquet on Amazon.com on My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish

From the Publisher

Part of the “My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish” series, this title includes two stories. The first story, “Frankie Goes Wild” takes place in the not-so-great outdoors when Tom and his friend Pradeep take Frankie the Zombie Fish to camp with them. They are surprised to see that Tom’s big brother, Mark the Evil Scientist, is also attending the camp. They are not surprised to discover that he is working with the evil Sam Savage to try to capture Frankie and the Beast of Burdock Woods. Tom and Pradeep use peanut butter and clean socks to save the day. In the second story, “Revenge of the Paranormal Pets,” Pradeep’s older brother, also an Evil Scientist, is capturing all of the animals with psychic powers and zapping them with his Supersonic Nicifying Helpful Minion Ray so they will do whatever he says. Frankie, Tom, and Pradeep outsmart Sanj and return the pets to their owners. Numerous black-and-white illustrations add to the humor of the stories. Reviewer: Phyllis Kennemer, Ph.D.; Ages 6 to 9.
