Attack of the Shark-headed Zombie

New to the Random House list is author Bill Doyle with a tale of monsters, magic, and mayhem. After Keats and Henry lose their bikes, they need money-fast. So the help-wanted ad at the supermarket seems ideal for them. All they have to do is weed Hallway House's garden, find some lightbulbs in the attic, sweep the garage . . . and battle a shark-headed zombie. But no one told them about the giant bookworms in the library, the toe-biting carpet in the halls, and the kitchen sinkhole!

BILL DOYLE is the author of Behind Enemy Lines: True Stories of Amazing Courage (Scholastic) and the Crime Through Time series (Little Brown). He's also written for Sesame, Time for Kids, and Rolling Stone. He lives New York City. Check out his Web site at BillDoyle.net

SCOTT ALTMANN did the cover illustrations for Hanging Hill and Black Heart Crypt. He likes sushi, playing guitar, and causing mischief.
