Celebrated illustrator K. G. Campbell (Flora and Ulysses) brings a touch of Tim Burton to this delightfully spooky new series about a boy who can't help but attract zombies. . . .

August DuPont has spent his whole life inside a dilapidated house with his aunt Hydrangea. His lonely existence ends abruptly with a surprise invitation to meet an aunt and cousins he didn't even know existed. When newfound Aunt Orchid suggests that August attend school with his cousins, it's a dream come true. But August has scarcely begun to celebrate his good fortune when he is confronted by a small problem on his way home. A small, very undead problem.

Praise for A Small Zombie Problem

"With wry humor and inventive plotting, Campbell reveals August's tangled, magic-tinged ancestry while shaping a poignant portrait of a boy--and a zombie--in search of friendship." --Publishers Weekly

"Campbell's series-starter is an off-kilter delight...readers who like macabre tales tempered with butterflies will eagerly follow Campbell's likable protagonist onward to his next adventure." --Booklist, starred review

"Campbell's strong use of figurative language evokes vivid imagery and paints a picture in the reader's mind. Reminiscent of Roald Dahl in uniting the macabre with realism." --School Library Journal

"Hot sauce, butterflies, and zombies--oh my! A tantalizing start to a delightfully macabre new series." --Kirkus Reviews
