An Awfully Beastly Business: Battle of the Zombies / The Beastly Boys (David Sinden) / 179 pages / November Challenge Zombies

Wow!! Fablehaven move over!  You have a competitor for magic beast asylum.  This book has zombies, ghosts, gargoyles, unicorns, fairies, giants, werewolves, and knights engaged in a violent struggle to control the world.  The evil son of benevolent scientist Professor Farraway, one Baron Marackai, has animated an evil ghost using phoenix tears.  He is determined to take Howlhammer Castle, to destroy the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to beasts, and then to rule the world.  I liked Fablehaven better, but this is still pretty awesome with a great hologram on the cover.
