Description
Zombies seem to be taking over pop culture in recent years. Readers are likely familiar with popular shows such as the Walking Dead and movies like Zombieland. However, they may be surprised to learn that zombies are not only found in fiction! This fascinating title uncovers how real zombies can be found in nature, comparing them to the zombies that have been featured in stories for centuries. It also delves into some scientific ways that zombies like those portrayed in the media today could one day truly walk among us!

Thank you for the ARC of this book!!!!! What a gem!!!! This book belongs on the shelves of the library of every highschool. The only thing that would make this book even better is pictures, e.g., of the fungus-infested ants. Young readers love pictures. Another bonus would be some links to (trustworthy) websites (maybe with a QR code for easy access). Sometimes the wording was a bit advanced for teenagers, but overall this was a great read.

What a great read! This fascinating collection featured articles and interviews by varied sources, all around the topic of monsters (as one could guess from the title). Some of the sections were a bit repetitive, but there was at least some new information in each one.

This was a really good and interesting look into the actual science of monsters.
I really like the details and the different experts that explained the details and I even liked the arguments that popped up when the experts did not agree. (the aliens section made me snort out loud)
I would put this at a middle school/high school level as its not overly technical but it might be a bit too detailed for elementary school aged kids.
