My boyfriend is a monster. #1, I love him to pieces
Tsang, Evonne
Teen Fiction TSANG
From Publishers' Weekly:
Though it starts out feeling like a lighthearted realistic fiction story, this graphic novel turns into a zombie story partway through. Nerdy Jack Chen and athletic Dicey Bell become more than friends when their high school gives them a parenting assignment to watch over an egg as if it's their baby. The two continue to draw closer, despite their differences. While on a date, word comes through that an infection is causing people to more or less turn into zombies, and the area is supposed to be evacuated. Jack gets bitten by one of the zombies and is fed a special pill in hopes it can stop the infection from overtaking him. But he isn't actually a zombie, which makes the title somewhat misleading. The zombie story comes in abruptly after the cute first half of the book, and it almost feels as if this consists of two different stories only linked together because it has the same characters. The ending also happens too quickly. Gorrissen's artwork is slick and attractive, and she clearly has a skill for facial expressions. Ages 11-up. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
