Zombie-saurus Rex Delivers on What a YA Novel Should Be! CarrieGreenBooks Here’s the truth about the extremely popular category Young Adult, too often authors have focused on what YA doesn’t have such as sex and swear words and then assume that they have earned the YA label. A certain amount of innocence is part of YA, but even more important is that a YA novel should explore the angst and uncertainty of being a teenager. A successful YA novel must examine this age of self discovery that every reader has gone through (or, if younger, is about to embark upon) and provide some insight into how to survive this rite of adolescence and come out the o. full of originality and a lot of fun! I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Zombie-saurus Rex was a really cool zombie story. Full of originality and fun, I cared about Rex. A lot. And I really wanted him to get a happy ending. I know, I know. He's a zombie. But he isn't like any other zombie I know, except maybe R from Warm Bodies. But Zombie-saurus Rex is completely different from Warm Bodies - in this novel, zombies can still do things like speak and go to school, but humans are leery of them, to the point where some in the military want to put them in internment camps or just go ahead and kil. "Given this is my second zombie novel - the first went down terribly - I didn't go into it with any expectations" according to A. Stone.

I'm a big fan of the zombie genre (notably films) and I must say what I liked about this book was that we jump right into the middle of things - albeit it's the start of a new beginning for Rex and his mother, Cecilia, as they just ar
As the Z-virus spreads west and the country panics, Rex and Ariella must find a way to overcome Rex’s mother who wants to break them apart and flee town, a school principal who wants Rex expelled, Ariella’s father, the Police Chief, who thinks Rex is dangerous, and a government zombie round-up aimed at solving the zombie problem once and for all.. Unlike the zombie stereotype, Rex is bright and friendly - as long as he doesn't get hungry. The difference this time is that Rex has fallen for fiery Goth girl, Ariella Klopenstein, the daughter of the Police Chief, and decided he will make his stand in Plain View. At Plain View High, a dismal pattern of fear, prejudice, and bullying steers Rex down a familiar path. Rex Morton, a seventeen year-old zombie, has arrived in the small farming town of Plain View, Nebraska; just another stop in a long string of small towns left behind in the rear view mirror. Rex’s fiercely protective mother m
