A Good Night for Shooting Zombies

'English readers of Mark Haddon will certainly delight in this quirky and emotionally resonant short chapter book.'

‘Never too sentimental or depressing, A Good Night for Shooting Zombies strikes a perfect balance of humour and heartbreak and helps to define what friendship really means.’

'A Good Night For Shooting Zombies is a wonderful and exciting story with true emotional depth...a compact and briskly told adventure.'

'For the first time in a long while we see the publication of a new Afrikaans book for teens which strikes the perfect balance between excellent language use, a good story and a philosophical flavour that will captivate younger and older readers.'

'This story touched my heart more than any other story has ever done.'

'Cancer and death aren't exactly fun subjects. But even though you expect the book to be depressing, it's exactly the opposite.'

'An emotive and enjoyable read.'

'Jaco Jacobs undoubtedly has the gift of writing entertaining stories. His characters are believable, and ever so often there's a hint of humour to make the reading experience even more pleasurable.'

‘The ending of this story is so good. There is a logical conclusion that involves everyone in the story and brings things full circle. It was heart warming and leaves a happy feeling with the reader. I think this book is worth the read and I'm giving it 4 stars!’

‘Jaco Jacobs’ writing keeps pages turning; the end of the story will stick with you long after you close the book. I became a Jaco fan after reading last year’s A Good Day for Climbing Trees. A Good Night for Shooting Zombies just sealed it. I can’t wait to read more.’

Praise for A Good Day for Climbing Trees:

'Quirky, charming and very funny, but with a real emotional punch. It is the perfect place to start for someone looking to move on from The Wimpy Kid books.' Anthony McGowan, author of The Donut Diaries
