""I have to say that I really really really love when an author
takes a subject that has become popular and makes it his/her own...
This is going to be an excellent book for reluctant readers, the
chapters are short enough to keep your attention, the story moves
along very quickly and the character's 'lingo' rings true... I
really love this one and think it will go over huge with boys as
well as girls. I'm hoping that we'll see much much more of Ty Drago
in the coming years." - Absolute Forest of Words" - Absolute

""I think the author did a wonderful job though in creating a world
for younger boys to dive into. A fun read to spark the interest of
reluctant readers and hopefully give them the push they need to
start reading!" - My Overstuffed Bookshelf" - My Overstuffed

""With elements reminiscent of works by Rowling, Riordan, and
Stine, Drago unveils the plot through many short chapters, calling
into action a cast of distinctive characters with authentic voices
and behaviors... Will's breathless adventures as he faces his
destiny of becoming an Undertaker are thoughtful and exciting, and
the descriptions of decaying flesh will likely both disgust and
delight readers... who will be clamoring for the continuation of
the story." - Booklist" - Booklist
""The Undertakers is one of the best books I have ever read." -
Review by Ashley- 6th grade reader/reviewer, approved and given
highest marks by teacher6th" - Spot to Read
""...as thought provoking as Night of the Living Dead and as
entertaining as the likes of Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead... In
my opinion though this books tale of Corpses and leaving a normal
life behind easily beats the Saga of Darren Shan... All in all 'The
Undertakers Rise of the Corpses' is a fantastic book and is also
both interesting and fun to read. Brilliantly written by Ty Drago,
with great characters, an edgy story and many grim twists, this is
a highly recommendable novel and one of the best I've read in a
long time." - Necropunk" - Necropunk
""Drago takes a dash of "They Live", stirs in a handful of zombie
mythology from Brian Keene's "The Rising", and finishes it off with
the young adult appeal of "Percy Jackson"... It is a story and cast
of characters that is both familiar and, at the same time, utterly
original... Drago writes with an age appropriate tone, but one that
is not condescending to older readers the story is still, after
all, a robust exploration of the genesis of a zombie invasion of
our world. The drama is real, the action is real, and the plot
holds up whether you are 15 or 45 or 105." - The Word Zombie" - The

""I like zombies, I like YA horror, and I like secret underground
societies of kids doing awesome things. This book, I thought,
should be a total win. Well it IS a total win... scary without
being over-the-top horrifying, it's got action as well as emotional
stuff, and it's never boring." - Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog" -

""Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Harry Potter, with
bug-filled corpses. Fans of comic-book heroes and video games will
not be disappointed, and will be eager for further adventures. Fast
paced and surprisingly moving." School Library Journal" - School

""Score: 4.75 / 5 - Reviewer Top Pick
This is not your traditional zombie book, but is instead a
high-octane read, with a great new take on the zombie story. Ty
Drago has created what promises to be a great series, filled with
adventure, undead beings, aliens, teenage guerrillas, and lots and
lots of intrigue." - Night Owl Reviews" - Night Owl Reviews
""Plenty of action, gruesome descriptions, and hand-to-hand combat
will draw mostly middle-grade boys, but there are lots of strong
girl characters as well. A satisfying ending hints at a sequel.
Recommended." - Library Media Connection" - Library Media

"This is an engaging fast-paced tale from the moment the talking
smelly Pratt puts his hand on Will and never slows down... " -
