After Tom rescued Frankie the goldfish from his big brother Mark's toxic science experiment by zapping him back to life with a battery, Frankie somehow became a BIG FAT ZOMBIE GOLDFISH with dangerous hypnotic powers. Fortunately, Frankie has appointed himself Tom's bodyguard, and together, with a little help from their friends, they thwart Mark's Evil Scientist plans. Tom is looking forward to their annual family trip to the seaside, right up until he hears about the Evil Eel of Eel Bay--a monster that Mark is entirely too interested in. After all, even a BIG FAT ZOMBIE GOLDFISH might have a little trouble with a Super Electric Zombie Eel! Then, Frankie takes center stage to rescue Tom's school play from Mark's evil plans.

My kindergarteners loved the first book, so naturally I had to buy the second one. However, it comes with a big warning...even though its listed as being for kids ages 6-8, it's not. This book is definitely written for older children. It uses words like "moron" throughout the story, and that's something I really can't encourage my students to say. I had to substitute more appropriate words, so be aware that you might need to do that, too. But the kids do love the stories, so it's something I"m willing to do.
***Got a copy through vine***I rarely read middle-grade books or get books based on title alone, but this is a rare exception on both accounts. I'd not read the first, but I picked up on what happened in the first book just fine by the back cover copy and some early text in the first of two novellas contained within the book.Things that bothered me:- Usage of "moron." I don't have kids so it didn't bother me for that reason, but it seemed like the author went out of her way to work the word into every other one of Mark's lines. It was overkill.- Use of word momble(d). Apparently, it's a variant of mumbled, but an odd one and again overused (3-4 times).- lack of variety in descriptions - when feeling nervous, the narrator inevitably related the experience to millipedes in his gut (crawling, kickboxing, etc) - excellent image the first time, repetitive after that.Good:This book had decent narration and a fun concept. Both stories were cute, quick reads with plots that bounced along with a glib attitude. The many illustrations were timely and beautifully worked to enhance the work. I like that you can read it on several levels, including decent commentary about friendship, jealousy, and success (2nd story).Conclusion: A fun book to keep to yourself or share with family.
My 7-year old daughter loved the 2 stories that were included in this book. Parents should be warned however that a character in the book (the older brother who wants to be an evil scientist) is constantly calling other people moron, idiot, etc. My 7-year old was appalled by this character and was constantly commenting on how mean he was (thank goodness - I think I would have felt like I failed as a mother otherwise).The bottom right corner of each page has a picture of the zombie goldfish and if you flip through the pages - the zombie goldfish appears to be swimming toward you.The kids liked the overall story line - I liked that they were interested in reading. The downside is all the "moron/idiot" language.
Obviously laugh out loud good because my son literally laughs out loud as he reads this series & frequently stops to share the highlights with a us. That is what I like in a children's book!!! & my son begging for the next installment.
I love this series. Great for reading to the children and invaluable in getting them to settle down. Not because it is boring, mind you. It is a really fun, interesting book and I hope that there are many, many more planned, beyond the end of the current series.
Fairly easy for my 7 year old to read. Her favorite pass time is reading or being read to. I loved it, it has a good sense of humor. We almost have the whole collection. I wish kid book downloads gave the option for the Child to color in how they want. It would add a little personalization to the book.
My son is 11 years old and has a hard time finding books that he enjoys. We read the first book and had to buy the The Seaquel as soon as we could. We are now on book 3! The author needs to write more!
Again, this was a purchase for my 7 year old grandson. He loved the first book and is looking forward to the third book. He enjoys the short chapters. He is just beginning to read chapter books. If you're looking for something different that you think your child or grandchild would be interested in, try this one.
