Rise of ZomBert

Mellie and her friend Danny are filming a horror movie behind the YummCo Foods factory when she finds a stray cat in a trash can. Mellie names the cat Bert and hides him in her room at home, knowing that her parents would never agree to let her keep a stray. Bert won’t eat the cat food that Mellie provides, but when she comes to check on him, he’s removed the heads of her stuffed animals! Just when she thinks things couldn’t get worse, Bert starts leaving Mellie “gifts” of headless animals that he has hunted on her front porch. Based on Bert’s brain-eating behavior, Danny is convinced that Bert is a zombie cat!

Is there a connection between Bert’s zombie behavior and YummCo factories? Will Mellie be able to keep Bert a secret from her parents? Read to find out!

I liked this book because it was entertaining and easy to read. There are pictures throughout the chapters, and they are great! My favorite picture is when Mellie first discovers Bert under her bed with a stuffed animal’s head in his mouth. It’s so funny!
