|Praise for The Zombie Chasers 2: Undead Ahead: “Written with tongue firmly in cheek-and other body parts all over the landscape-this book will appeal to reluctant readers, particularly middle school boys.” - School Library Journal
“Goofy illustrations reinforce the zaniness of this lightning–fast read.” - Booklist
Praise for Galaxy’s Most Wanted: “Good, loony science–fiction fun.” - Kirkus Reviews
Praise for The Zombie Chasers: “Kloepfer’s first is a Zombieland for the middle-school set: funny, off-color and extremely gross. A great pick for the child who thought Diary of a Wimpy Kid just needed more motile corpses.” - Kirkus Reviews
“A quick, fun read, loaded with jokes and middle-school sarcasm.” - School Library Journal
“If there’s an award for the grossest descriptions of zombies, Kloepfer would win it. Preteen boys will love it.” - St. Paul Pioneer Press
