This book isn't perfect, though it has a great concept and execution! The book tells the story of 2 kids, one of their uncles, and an army of plants and zombies, Zomboss and his zombies have the urge to munch on brains, but luckily Crazy Dave, his niece Patrice Blazing, Patrice's friend Nate Timely, and their arsenal of plants have come to stop their dining rampage. Zomboss makes a plan to have tiny zombies infect humans from the inside, Patrice and Nate realize this and shrink themselves (I won't tell you how because I forgot ;). I think their concept was great, having a miniature turf war while having to deal with Titan-like zombies and other things (bugs are as big as wolves and elephants, using more forms of transportation). I would recommend this to grades 2-6, it is not too complicated, it is funny and doesn't have content that would only be viewable by people of older ages. The characters are humorous and work well together, Nate Timely is the comidec character that loves food and wacky inventions, Patrice Blazing is the most sane and tactical of the 3 because she isn't making jokes all the time and she makes plans and is one of the reasons no one in neighborville has gotten dinned on, Crazy dave is wacky and technicologicly smart, and I should also mention the plants, they work as a tringle thing, Patrice can translate Dave and Nate likes his inventions and they are all friends! so yeah it good, there are some problems but I won't say them

A very silly but fun comic. Zomboss has created millions of miniature zombies, so Crazy Dave shrinks himself, Patrice and Nate to combat the tiny brain eaters. They also run into problems with insects that are now twice their size.
