DEAD GUY SPY by David Lubar Category: Contemporary Age Recommendation: Grades 6+ Release Date: 1/5/10 Publisher: Starscape Reviewed by: Kira M Rating: 5 Stars As if becoming a zombie permanently wasn’t bad enough, Nathan’s problems have just gotten worse. His limbs keep falling off and having to be glued back on; his wrestling-obsessed gym teacher is determined to toughen the whole class up; and now some weirdo, secret organization is trying to make him a spy. The spy thing wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t already trying to kill him if he doesn’t join. Will Nathan Abercrombie find a way to cope with school and survive the spies? DEAD GUY SPY is a hilarious adventure in true Lubar fashion. The characters are well-developed and entertaining. The plot is unique and fun to read. Readers will have a hard time keeping a straight face while enjoying this book. Although you'll definitely want to read the first book in the series, MY ROTTEN LIFE, this is a great stand- alone story and will keep reluctant and avid readers wanting to read more. |
