About the author

Scott's NIGHT OF THE HOMEWORK ZOMBIES received the 2007 Golden Duck award for Best Science Fiction Picture Book.

[Duane · Rating 4 out of 5]

For young readers, this charming little graphic novel is a funny easy read. Jimmy uses his nose to sniff out troubles and when a local lady starts stashing dogs, he knows something is wrong. With great illustrations and kid friendly humor, this book will be popular among boys especially.

[Endira77 · Rating 3 out of 5]

The boys cracked up at all the snotty references. The ending is sweet with the abandoned dog finding a new owner and the dad's reaction to the poopy yard. The villian is lame in my opinion. Is dressing dogs up in tutus really..."evil?" There's lots of great sound effects, too.
