Memoirs of a Neurotic Zombie Cover Reveal

Hey guys! Today I have an exciting cover reveal and extract from Memoirs of a Neurotic Zombie by Jeff Norton! It comes out early August. It looks great and so funny - I was lucky enough to hear Jeff read an extract himself earlier this year and everyone present was in fits of giggles. So, without further ado here's the awesome cover, the synopsis, and a short extract! Synopsis:  'My name is Adam Meltzer and the last thing I remember was being stung by a bee while swinging at a robot-shaped piñata on my twelfth birthday. I was dead before the candy hit the ground.' Memoirs of a Neurotic Zombie is narrated by the hilarious Adam Meltzer - pre-teen, worrywart, and now zombie. Adam's family gets the fright of their lives when he turns up at their door desperate for a shower . . . three months after his funeral. When most people think zombies, they think of eating people, and unintelligent monsters. But Adam doesn’t like germs. Or dirt. Or things being disorganised. So waki...

Title:  Dandelion Clocks Author:  Rebecca Westcott Series:  Pages:   255 Publisher:  Puffin Date of Publication:  6th March, 2014 Source:  Publisher* Synopsis from back of book: I gather up the first collection of photographs of my mum and flick through... What all these pictures have in common is they show how Mum lives every day - like it really, really matters. Mum's suddenly started giving me life's vital lessons: how to make Bolognese sauce, how to put on make-up, how to make rules my brother can cope with... She's even given me her old diaries. They're really funny - and actually sort of helpful. But I feel like there's something she's not telling me... My Thoughts: Dandelion Clocks is a really great book for young people. It's aimed a lot younger than my usual YA reads, but I enjoyed it hugely nonetheless. Despite tackling a difficult subject matter, Rebecca Westcott has written a brilliant debut that is heartbreaking but still funny at...
