“This is a great choice for reluctant readers and anyone who enjoys humorous stories. Despite being filled with farts and vomit, ultimately it's a sweet story about the importance of friendship, family, and doing the right thing.” —School Library Journal
“Kids will get a chuckle out of Nathan and his friends.” —Children's Literature
“The first book in a promising new series introduces likable characters beset by unusual but humorous circumstances... Will appeal to reluctant readers.” —School Library Journal on My Rotten Life: Nathan Abercrombie, Accidental Zombie #1
“Nathan is a delightful hero--a former semi-nerd and frequent subject of smackdowns, adventitiously turned cool customer--which, to zombies, comes naturally.” —Kirkus Reviews on My Rotten Life: Nathan Abercrombie, Accidental Zombie #1
“Lubar has a fine time inventing gross-outs, but he also knows how to incorporate believable character motivation and work the heck out of a metaphor. It appears inevitable that a sequel shall rise from the grave.” —Booklist on My Rotten Life: Nathan Abercrombie, Accidental Zombie #1
“The over-the-top narrative will appeal to readers who like their humor twisted, and might even have some wishing that they, too, could be a half-dead zombie.” —Publishers Weekly on My Rotten Life: Nathan Abercrombie, Accidental Zombie #1
“You have to love a writer who can rhyme zombie in his title. Readers of Lubar's Hidden Talents will enjoy his silly/funny style of storytelling.” —NY Post Entertainment Section on My Rotten Life: Nathan Abercrombie, Accidental Zombie #1
