Josh Rondell is 12 years old and known as the "living dead boy" due to his rampant love of all things zombie. As the head of the Zombie Hunters Club, he's obsessed with preparing for the zombocalypse. Though no one around him really believes that zombies will one day rise to devour the living, Josh is convinced it just might happen.

When zombies do shamble into his schoolyard, Josh finds himself the leader of the dwindling band of zombie hunters, and he is charged with protecting them all. Josh's baby brother, his closest friends, and the love of his young life try to survive as the undead take over their town. Trapped in his treehouse and surrounded by the dead, will Josh be able to save them all?

Enjoyed the storyline and characterisation but found the narrator very difficult to listen to.

Worthwhile despite the narrator!

While I am no longer a young adult, I still enjoyed this series. It had just as much action, drama and appeal as all the other zombie books I have read, but told from the childrens' perspectives which was a refreshing change. Looking forward to the next instalment.

This was an excellent YA zombie novel. 12 year old Josh, is the brave leader of the Zombie Hunters, guides his rag tag group of friends to safety through one crisis after another, making the best choices he can to problems even the adults struggle with. I found myself absorbed with his frustration of his circumstances and realisation of what means the most to him and the possibility of losing everything dear to him. His heartbreaking realisation that his longed for dreams of heroism during a zombie apocalypse are so very different in reality - "Be very careful what you wish for" I can't wait to read more!

YA Zombies at their best!

The Living Dead Boy and the Zombie Hunters is a fantastic YA apocalyptic book that can be enjoyed by all ages. This book is a perfect blend of zombie action, suspense, and drama. It is tame and not too gory or overly violent. Rhiannon Frater is an exceptional author, adding the perfect balance of ingredients in a zombie apocalypse, yet remaining appropriate for teens and still enjoyable by adults. The narration by Erik Sandvold wasn't bad, definitely a better fit for YA listeners.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
