Pressestimmen
"The latest in Anderson's madcap pastiche series takes on the undead of upstate New York.... The layers of nonsense grow ever thicker and funnier as our heroes encounter a haunted theater that advertises "comical skits...Ha! Ha! Ha!”, a ghost actress from French-occupied Russia (or was that Russia-occupied France?) and a giant Adirondack tarantula. Ridiculous in all the best ways."
--Kirkus Reviews, September 15, 2011
"This fifth book in Anderson’s good-humored satirical series gives new life—er, death?—to the paranormal horror novel and emphasizes the importance of reading comprehension if one is to avoid becoming a flesh-eating ghoul.… Kurt Cyrus’s black-and-white illustrations aptly combine the hair-raising with the tongue-in-cheek; e.g., zombies in matching “I’m with Stupid” T-shirts."
--The Horn Book, November/December 2011
"Anderson tucks in an oversize spider, a squirt gun that shoots holy water, and even a touch of romance, while Cyrus adds spooky illustrations to another action-packed episode in the Pals in Peril series."
--Booklist, October 15, 2011
"This kind of fresh new addition to the series--not to mention its many laugh-out-loud moments throughout--is the reason kids will want to keep checking in with Lily, Jasper and Katie to see what fresh brand of horror and hilarity they'll stumble upon next."

Kurzbeschreibung
The Pals in Peril embark on a horrifying adventure of life and un-death that is “ridiculous in all the best ways” (Kirkus Reviews)!
Our intrepid heroes are home from their Delaware crime-stopping excitement, only to discover that Lily’s mom has become possessed by a menacing zombie who wants to take over the world! (Or, at least, the world of stage and screen.) Thank goodness Lily’s friends Katie, Jasper, and foxy Blue-Hen-State monk Drgnan Pghlik are around—accompanied by Jasper’s Astounding High-Pressure Holy Water Extruder Gun, of course—to help save the day.
But not before some truly scary things happen, things involving stuff like killer tarantulas, web-footed teen vampire boys, bad weather (it’s a horror novel, remember?), and, well . . . the rest is just TOO TERRIFYING FOR WORDS!

This is the reason kids will want to keep checking in with Lily, Jasper and Katie
3. Februar 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In the past two Pals in Peril series installments, Lily, Jasper and Katie have been on the road, finding adventure (and more than a little danger) amid the harrowing wilds of Delaware. Now our intrepid trio (plus the dreamy Delawarean monk Drgnan Pghlik) are back home safe and sound in Pelt, New Jersey.
But, as it turns out, danger can find these kids anywhere. And no one knows that better than Lily Gefelty's mom. Now that otherwise ordinary Lily has turned up as a character in several books, her mom is worried about what this might mean for her. "Have you noticed anything about books written for people your age?" Mrs. Gefelty asks her daughter. "In every single book your English teacher assigns you, the mother dies or disappears.... In this one, the mother contracts cholera in India. In this one, she dies of cancer. In this one, she's killed in a rogue trolley accident. In this one, she's eaten by a rhinoceros...."
You get the picture. Convinced that her days are numbered, Mrs. Gefelty decides that the safest place for her is in Todburg, New York. After all, she figures, the most likely place to stay alive has got to be the place known as the undead capital of the U.S. (Obviously Mrs. Gefelty knows Lily's English curriculum but isn't up on her zombie literature.)
Before long, Mrs. Gefelty comes home...changed, sending Lily and her friends --- not to mention Katie's obnoxious cousin Madigan --- on a new adventure involving killer tarantulas, musical theater-loving ghosts, and a brave plan involving a hot tub. To top it all off, Drgnan finds himself in the middle of a love triangle he didn't even know existed, just before he is supposed to return home to Delaware, leaving both Katie and Lily bereft.
ZOMBIE MOMMY is the fifth book in M. T. Anderson's Pals in Peril series, and probably one of the best. The focused plot helps keep the absurdity under control, resulting in just the right level of zaniness, and the introduction of the new character Madigan is an inspired one and leads to much of the volume's humor. Madigan is the star of her own book series --- Snott Academy --- and Anderson clearly has a lot of fun playing with the conventions of Gossip Girl-type novels when he writes about her, as in this footnote: "I have been told by the editors of the Snott Academy series to make sure I describe Madigan's outfits accurately in each scene. I don't know how I'm going to do that. I know nothing about fashion. I am wearing old, brown corduroys right now, and I think my shirt might be on backwards."
This kind of fresh new addition to the series --- not to mention its many laugh-out-loud moments throughout --- is the reason kids will want to keep checking in with Lily, Jasper and Katie to see what fresh brand of horror and hilarity they'll stumble upon next.
