Cute middle school reading. Norman can see and speak to the dead and he has a mission to save his community on the 300 year anniversary of a witch's execution. There's a lesson in here about bullying, too. ( )

Despite not being a zombie fan, this book was not that awful. As an adaptation of the screenplay for the movie of the same name, it is pretty good. Norman can see and speak to the ghosts of the departed. There are several scenes where the zombies rise and all can see them which I imagine the movie does much with(though have no idea because have not seen film). Norman saves the day, finds friends and makes peace in his family along the way. My one complaint is point of view shifts unnecessarily to Norman's sister at random points. ( )

A great book about the same movie, but in words. ( )
