About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from graphic novels to longer chapter books or when they are struggling with the pressure of being a leader versus being liked. This installment in the popular series finds Jack and his loyal crew trapped inside a giant monster that houses a literal shopping mall city. While the setting is fantastical, the heart of the story focuses on Jack learning that true leadership requires making tough, responsible choices rather than just making popular promises to win an election. Set in a world post-zombie apocalypse, the tone remains surprisingly lighthearted and humorous. It explores themes of accountability and team dynamics through high-stakes monster battles and absurdist comedy. It is a fantastic choice for reluctant readers who crave visual stimulation but are ready for slightly more complex character growth and moral dilemmas.
