About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is looking for a thrill that is more goofy than truly frightening. It is perfect for reluctant readers who enjoy fast-paced action and the campy, over-the-top energy of 1950s science fiction movies. This story provides a low-stakes way to explore themes of bravery and teamwork without the heavy emotional weight of realistic fiction. The story follows a group of friends who must defend their town from an absurd invasion of undead surfers from outer space. While the premise is wild, the core of the book is about ordinary kids stepping up to solve a problem together. It is an ideal bridge for children transitioning into longer chapter books who still want a story that feels like an adventurous Saturday morning cartoon.
