A Zombie Invasion That Won't Leave Your Child Brainless: Plants vs. Zombies Timepocalypse

Title: Plants vs Zombies: Timepocalypse
Author: Paul Tobin
Ages: 8 to 12
Rating: According to my 8-year old reluctant reader, "This book is actually good!" 

Encourage your child to take a break from playing the highly addictive Plants vs. Zombies game and read a graphic novel inspired by the game instead. 

What kids will love:

• the zaniness
• the non-stop action
• the engaging illustrations
• the snappy dialogue
• looking forward to the next graphic novel in the series

Can Minecraft help your reluctant reader?

Do you think gaming can improve your child's reading skills?

It's debatable, but I will say that I was surprised a few years ago after my son started playing Minecraft and started using words like "granite" and "obsidian" in casual conversation.

Also, the Minecraft Essential Handbook still remains the longest book that he has read by himself.
