Booklist - 09/01/2013 This second volume in the Case File 13 series conjures up the same appealing mash-up of comedy and horror as Zombie Kid (2013). Savage begins this story just a few weeks later and provides the sixth-grade boys with a fresh Frankensteinian conspiracy to unravel. Helping them, while also annoying them, are three girls in their grade who are equally adventurous and imperturbable. Although insults fly back and forth, the two squads team up to figure out why corpses are being stolen from the cemetery and hospital. Savage skillfully mixes the perilous activity the kids get into with Nick’s active conscience and plenty of gross-out moments. There is an array of horrible stenches here, ranging from Tiffany’s overpowering perfume and Carter’s infamous flatulence to the goopy green liquid they all have to crawl through to save a friend, but each character also reveals a strength and bravery that makes this crew, at the end, smell quite sweet. - Copyright 2013 Booklist.
