Gr 3–5—Tom and Pradeep's adventures with Frank (their Big Fat Zombie Goldfish) continue with two new stories that will delight fans of their previous exploits. The first offering finds them at the local museum for the annual History Museum Sleepover. There, they try to stop their nefarious older brothers from wrecking the new Egyptian exhibit, and get cursed by the Cat King. In the second tale, they try to stop the eagerly anticipated Sports Day from turning into a disaster. Illustrations appear throughout the novel, adding to the zany antics. Give this to fans of Andy Griffiths's "Treehouse" series and those readers who enjoyed previous installments.
With the help of best friend Padreep and his pet zombie goldfish, Tom tries to stop his evil-scientist older brother's malicious plans, which involve a psychic octopus (Live), an ancient Egyptian curse (Any Fin), and more. The self-contained stories (two in each volume) are quick reads bolstered by constant action and deadpan humor. Black-and-white spot art ramps up the hilarity. Review covers the following titles: My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish: Any Fin Is Possible and My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish: Live and Let Swim.
