About the Book

Book Synopsis

The Zombie Chasers take to the high seas!

The sixth installation of the wildly popular Zombie Chasers tween series from John Kloepfer, perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and reluctant readers everywhere, with hilarious black-and-white illustrations by David DeGrand, this story is full of middle school shenanigans, and fast-paced gore-larious adventures!

Zack Clarke and his team--Zoe, Rice, Ozzie, Madison, and Olivia--have fled the infested coasts of Florida, chased by a ravenous mob of super zombies. With no antidote in sight, there's only one person who can help them now: an eccentric explorer--and renowned zombie expert--who's lying low in a zombie-proof bunker somewhere in the Caribbean.

As the pals fend off decomposing pirates, crusty crew mates, and putrid sea creatures, they race to uncover the cure for zombies everywhere. But will they be able to defeat the zombies of the Caribbean before the cure and their plan go overboard?

From the Back Cover

Zomboyage!

With the whole world zombifying around them, Zack, Rice, Zoe, Madison, Ozzie, and Olivia flee the infested coast of Florida in search of help. There's only one person who can save them: an oddball explorer who knows the key to the antidote . . . but who has escaped to a zombie-proof bunker somewhere in the Caribbean. As they take to the high seas in search of the secret antidote ingredient, they must battle the scariest seafarers of all: super zombie pirates and undead killer sharks.

Will the Zombie Chasers survive the undead seas, or are they destined to become shark bait?
