Gravediggers

review 1: Three kids get lost in the Bitterroot Mountains on their first day of outdoor school, but eventually take shelter in an abandoned cabin - with a pile of bones in the basement. In turns funny, tense and gruesome, this zombie tale is told from three points of view which are sadly not very discernible. A bit of a slow start as zombies don't actually come on the scene until page 109. For 5th to 9th graders. Thriller, horror, adventure with some advanced vocabulary.
review 2: Gravediggers tells the story of three 11 year olds, Ian, Kendra and PJ and their Homeroom Earth field trip to the Montana wilderness. Kendra and Ian are sworn enemies because of a previous incident involving Kendra smacking Ian with a text book. PJ is Ian's oldest friend but he's not one of the... more "cool kids" so Ian is hoping to avoid him on this trip and hang with his jock friends instead. Kendra is intelligent but socially awkward and only has cyber friends that she has met online. Her parents are hoping she will make a new friend but Kendra is more concerned with amping up her vocabulary and collecting nature specimens. After Ian is put into a group with the very people he was avoiding the action begins. Ian spots a large buck and takes off into the woods after it to get a picture. Not wanting him to get lost the others follow him into the forest and end up getting lost. The book tells the story of their struggle to find their way back and to avoid being eaten by zombies. I thought the book had an interesting start but the middle was slow and the ending was anticlimactic. The fact that it was humorous helped bump up its rating from 2 stars to three. I think fans of the zombie genre and reluctant readers will enjoy this book. less
