Mombie

On a snowy winter morning, suburban mom Annie Prockner is taking her 13-year-old, Max, to school while her husband Ben drives eight-year-old Patty. The blizzard thickens, and the mist between worlds thins. It doesn't take long before they each realize that they aren't in Kansas anymore: mother and son, father and daughter have separately passed through the veil. They soon discover that they have been granted wondrous abilities which they must learn to master in this new world, a place rich with magic-and on the verge of an all-out war. In a fantastical world filled with Centaurs, Giants, Gnomes, Zombies, Trolls, Mermaids, Pixies, and other fabulous creatures, a villainous Swamp Ogre named Barthas has raised an army and is causing murder and mayhem among the gentle citizens of the Painted Valley. Without realizing it, Annie and Ben find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict, in which every member of the family is challenged to their utmost just to stay alive. "Mombie: The Zombie Mom" is a funny, scary, uplifting fairy tale for modern kids of all ages-the perfect book to read aloud with the whole family.
