Zombie Swap by Zack Zombie
Diary of a Minecraft Zombie bk. 4. Scholastic, 2017. ISBN
9780986444166
(Age: 7+) This popular fan fiction series is presented as Zombie's
diary and in this junior novel, he has swapped bodies with his
friend Steve the Villager. This sets the scene for much awkwardness
at school and home, for many new and difficult situations and of
course, plenty of gross humour. Zombie discovers what it is like to
be a human; there are problems with wearing clothes, using the
SHA-WUR, what is SO-AP and how to use a TA-WOOL. Zombies normally do
not spend a lot of time cleaning their bodies, they have holes in
their faces and bodies and love to smell and be filthy.
Human school is a very scary place, Steve is a very popular guy and
Zombie finds it hard to fit in, andn know what to do, what to say
and how to act. His normal life is opposite. Steve has to live with
the Zombies, Creepers, Skeletons and Slimes of Minecraft, and try to
fit in as well. There are plenty of difficult situations for Zombie,
luckily, Steve's friend Alex is there to guide him through the
pitfalls. He even competes in the PVP Death Match Tournament with
his new human friend Eli, and together they learn how to rely on
each other and defeat the other team.
Zombie Swap is another humorous addition to the series, just
right for Minecraft fans who enjoy reading about their favourite
characters and their zany lives.
