Stink's school is working to log one million reading hours the same week the new "Nightmare on Zombie Street" book is released. Stink and Webster try to raise money to buy the book while enjoying zombie-themed activities. Sibling rivalry, school antics, and friendship drive the story; accompanying black-and-white cartoons include wacky information such as how to "zombify yourself. (c) Copyright 2012.

Booklist Review
Gross, creepy, and hilarious, the latest simple chapter book about the young, mischievous grade-schooler Stink has even parents, teachers, and other grown-ups joining in the nonsense as they all celebrate the joy of reading. Guts, brains, and eyeballs are everywhere, even in the school vomiteria, which serves scrambled brains and freshly squeezed eyeball juice. Kids will love the gruesome wordplay, and the digital artwork extends the uproar with spooky shadows like giant cobwebs and body parts, while zombies in school uniforms lurch down Main Street. Perfect for Halloween, this will make fun reading all year round.--Rochman, Hazel Copyright 2010 Booklist
