About This Book
Reach for this book when you have a reluctant reader who equates books with boredom or struggle. It is specifically designed for children who feel overwhelmed by dense text but crave high-interest, fast-paced storytelling that treats them like the mature pre-teens they are. This graphic novel follows a group of students trapped in a library where a supernatural force is turning visitors into zombies, forcing the protagonists to use their wits and teamwork to survive. While the horror elements provide a thrilling hook, the heart of the story focuses on bravery and the idea that libraries are places of power rather than dusty relics. It is perfectly pitched for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a 'scary' experience that remains safe and age-appropriate. Parents will appreciate how it validates the experience of children with learning differences, framing the struggle with words not as a deficit, but as a challenge to be conquered through resilience.
