I found this book to be okay. It is a book about a racoon in the zombie apocalypse who goes on a mission to find other raccoons. It had some pretty good humour but I found the plot a little confusing and am not a huge fan of talking animals. I would recommend this book to anyone Grade 5 and up who like animals and mysteries.
The Red Cedar book, Trip of the Dead, is an okay book. I didn’t really enjoy it a whole lot because I found it very hard to keep track of who each of the characters were. I also found it a bit hard to picture what was going on in the book in my head. If you are into books that are either science fiction or animal fiction, then you will probably like this book. But if not, this isn’t the book for you.
I loved Trip of the Dead! It was a great book with lots of action, excitement, and suspense! It also had a great ending, an amazing storyline, and really descriptive characters. I really enjoyed Trip of the Dead, and I think that others will enjoy it as well! I would definitely recommend this book for anyone in Grades 4-7.
