Ten Little Zombies
Author: Andy Rash
Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 145210087X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
A man and woman fight and count their way through a zombie horde in this twisted, illustrated parody of a children’s counting book. When being chased by ten little zombies (no matter how cute they are), your only option is to systematically destroy them one by one, or else become zombie number eleven. In this love story wrapped in a tale of zombie mayhem, a resourceful couple flees from and picks off their undead pursuers with fast-paced ingenuity and an entertaining range of zombie-thwarting tools. As the zombies shuffle and stumble their way toward a variety of gruesome ends, our heroes must come up with new ways to escape sticky situations and stay together. This darkly funny illustrated tale—think meets Edward Gorey meets Hallmark—celebrates the romantic side of a zombie plague, with plenty of BRAINS and a lot of heart.

Book Description
Diana's reluctant homecoming exposes the deep fissures within her family's relationships with each other. A new voice in Australian women's fiction, Jane Carter creates an insightful story about the pressures of rural living for an intergenerational family. Is there any place like home...? Twenty years ago, in a hot–headed rage, Diana Crawford left the family farm to build a new life in London. Now, following her husband's fatal accident and unable to find respite from the barrage of guilt–inducing and heartrending memories at every turn, she runs to the one place she feels Charlie's ghost can't follow her: Mog's Hill, the Crawford farm in New South Wales. There, among the smell of lanolin, the dust of the sheep yards and the beauty of the land, Diana hopes she can regain her strength and put her life, as well as those of her three shell–shocked kids, back on track. But home isn't as she remembers, and her return cracks open old family wounds. Stella has longed for her prodigal daughter's return for years. Now if she can convince Diana to open up and let them back into her heart, she might just be able to keep her grandchildren close by and find the family peace she craves. But Stella already has her hands full trying to hold everything together, and now the Crawford family is a hair's breadth from shattering forever. Can Stella keep the peace? Can she make Diana see the strength in relying on family, or will Diana leave them behind once again? 'A heartwarming story of family, love and loss with characters you won't want to leave.' – Tricia Stringer, Australian bestselling author.
