Ghost and Zombie and the Curse of Living

Description

Zombie and Ghost are Grave City’s best detective duo. Zombie is the brawns and Ghost the brains, but they’re both the undead remains of one person: Private Investigator Paul Clayton. When vampires, ghouls and zombies are being brought back to life, can Ghost and Zombie work out who’s behind it all before the whole city turns human?

Features

Gold Band Structure

  • No specific phonic structure to these books, as children should be able to work out most reasonably common words without difficulty.
  • Vocab choices are appropriate to this young readership and not too complex or demanding
  • More scope for complex inference creeping in – e.g. sometimes the reader may need to read between the lines, or may know something the characters do not, or the author may set up unusual twist or surprise ending.
  • Stories are slightly longer and more complex than before and bring in knowledge from outside the story in order to understand it.
  • As above, though stories are becoming more varied in plot as well as sentence structure, sometimes including some more literary or stylised language where appropriate.
