Author Notes

Gregory K. Smith grew up in a culturally diverse household. He was smitten with books at an early age when his Assistant Librarian mother brought him to work during summer breaks. Later, his father got him into Boy Scouts, where he achieved Eagle Scout Rank.

Michael Tanner was born in Great Falls, Montana--a thriving metropolis that is actually smaller than the neighborhood of Los Angeles that he currently resides in. He has a BA in Theater and Television Production from the Evergreen State College, which is also where he met Greg Smith. Michael developed a love for comics at a very early age and credits the medium with expanding his vocabulary and imagination. His first published comic work was in the Oni Press anthology Jam! Tales from the World of Roller Derby. He feels incredibly lucky to have been given the opportunity to work in a field that he loves.

Zach Lehner graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008 with a B.A. in Sequential Art and again with a Masters in 2010. This is his first graphic novel. He lives in northern Chicago, where he reads a lot of books.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 7 Up-Meet the Junior Braves-young scouting troops setting out on a campout that promises to turn them into men. The adult Tribe Leaders plan to help the Junior Braves do just that by teaching the troops survival skills. The Junior Braves earn patches and learn in the wilderness. That is, of course, until they return home to discover that their town has been virtually destroyed and overtaken by mutants. Is this the apocalypse? What's wrong with the some of the survivors they meet? And what happened to their parents? This volume is just the beginning of continued promised adventures. The comic art is done in simple black and white, with green shading. The panels are presented straightforwardly and is accessible for even non-graphic novel fans. This series opener is a solid alternative for young readers who may be intrigued by popular zombie comics written for adults and might not be ready for Walking Dead or Jonathan Maberry's "Rot & Ruin" books (S. & S.). While this work is not without violence or mature themes, it has mild content that is appropriate for middle schoolers. The subject matter and format make this a perfect title for reluctant readers. VERDICT A fun, fast-paced zombie comic that would pair well with the "Lumberjanes" titles (Boom).-Kevin McGuire, Woodland Hills School District, PA © Copyright 2015.
