Frankie was a completely normal pet goldfish . . . until Tom's evil-scientist big brother tried to murder him with toxic gunge! Luckily Tom and his best friend Pradeep shocked Frankie back to life with a battery, and ever since he's been a BIG FAT ZOMBIE GOLDFISH.

A normal trip to the aquarium for Tom, Pradeep, and Sami suddenly turns into a death-defying race to stop save Frankie from being eaten by a hungry psychic octopus during their big brothers' latest evil plan.

Horn Book Review

With the help of best friend Padreep and his pet zombie goldfish, Tom tries to stop his evil-scientist older brother's malicious plans, which involve a psychic octopus (Live), an ancient Egyptian curse (Any Fin), and more. The self-contained stories (two in each volume) are quick reads bolstered by constant action and deadpan humor. Black-and-white spot art ramps up the hilarity. [Review covers the following titles: My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish: Any Fin Is Possible and My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish: Live and Let Swim.] (c) Copyright 2017.
