Dead City (Dead City #1)
Most kids have enough to deal with between school, homework, extracurricular activities, and friends, but Molly Bigelow isn’t your typical tween. By day, Molly attends MIST—the Metropolitan Institute of Science and Technology—but it’s what she’s learning outside of school that sets her apart from her classmates. Molly is a zombie hunter, just like her mother.
This, however, is news to Molly. Now she must come to terms with not only the idea that zombies exist, but also that they’re everywhere, and it’s her job to help police them and keep the peace. Sure, she’d like to be a regular kid, but “regular” just isn’t possible when it turns out the most revered (or feared, depending on your perspective) zombie hunter in the history of New York City is your mother. It seems Molly’s got some legendary footsteps to follow…
Describe the book in 5 words:Hilarious, suspenseful, gripping, adventurous, friendship.Favourite Character: GraysonWhat I liked: I really enjoyed how the book was very fast paced. It had me guessing what was going to come next by giving clues throughout the book. I also really like how it started with a prologue and came back to it in the second last chapter. Would you recommend? YES!!!
Awesome. A gritty, urban, paranormal title that will be great for 5th grade and up. No romance (hooray!), strong smart girl main character, and best of all, it doesn't feel like an older YA title that got dumbed down for a younger audience. Happy dance! I can't wait to take this out to the schools when we do our pre-summer reading booktalks. Good dialog, great plot, and a "leave you on the edge of your seat" ending. I wanted a little more information on the actual how-people-become-zombies, but

When I picked up the book, I hadn't realized that it was NOT intended for a High School Junior who reads at an advanced level. And though I know it was not intended for a reader like me, it was an interesting read.The beginning of the book begins with a sort of prologue, which explains very little but introduces a nice action plot. It then throws you into the slow story of Molly Bigelow's life leading up to being a, yes, zombie hunter. And though the book has a slower, a bit of a boring, start,

A MUST READ!I purchased Dead City a few weeks ago at a local school book fair. I was browsing the tables full of books when I came across this one. The thing that caught my eye is the cover so I picked it up, read the back and thought that it sounded pretty interesting so I was going to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did. I LOVE everything about this book!! It is gritty, funny, suspenseful and down right spooky at times. You will fall in love with the characters and their sense of humor,Describe the book in 5 words:Hilarious, suspenseful, gripping, adventurous, friendship.Favourite Character: GraysonWhat I liked: I really enjoyed how the book was very fast paced.
