My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish: The Seaquel (Book #2) by Mo O’Hara –OPTIONAL

O’Hara, Mo My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish: The Seaquel (Book #2) 208 pgs. Feiwel & Friends, 2014. $12.99. Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G.
(Please note that Sequel is spelled Seaquel for fun on this title. Not a spelling error.)
Tom is still Frankie the Zombie Goldfish’s owner and guardian. Tom is excited to go on a family vacation to the ocean, but there is a sign by the lighthouse that says that an evil eel lives there. Tom’s brother Mark, the Evil Scientist wants to catch it. Frankie and the Evil Eel might end up facing off.  When Mark tries to mess with Tom’s school play of Robin Hood, Frankie is going to have to swim in.
Again, a great cover. This book was actually a bit better than the first, less confusing because the plotline was focused in more. The illustrations are ironically cute as they illustrate analogies in the text as well as plot elements. There was much less ‘morons’ and other mean talk from the older brother in this one as well. This second book was more readable and fun, but I don’t think it could function as a stand alone, since students will be confused about how the goldfish became the way he is.
