Desmond Cole and his best friend Andres Miedoso are on a school trip to the zoo, expecting a fun day with animals safely behind bars. But when they encounter a zookeeper who's not quite alive, the duo must tackle their spookiest challenge yet. In Kersville, where ghosts and ghouls are part of the scenery, Desmond's Ghost Patrol is ready for any eerie encounter. Will they manage to outsmart the undead caretaker, or will this be the case that finally stumps them? Join the adventure and find out if they can keep the zoo—and themselves—safe.

From the publisher

It’s Desmond and Andres versus the Zombie Zookeeper in the fourth book of the Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol chapter book series!

Welcome to Kersville, a town with a spooky history and a collection of ghosts and spirits who are major mischief-makers. Most kids spend their days without ever seeing or dealing with a ghost, but some kids get stuck with a haunt. When that happens, they call Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol. There’s no job too spooky, icky, or risky for Desmond.

I’m not like that at all. My name’s Andres Miedoso. I’m Desmond’s best friend and ghost patrol partner.

For this case, we’re off to the zoo! Zoo field trips are the best. You get to ride in a bus, you get to spend the day outside, and all the animals are safely far away in their enclosures. Nothing scary here, right? Wrong! Leave it to Desmond Cole to find the one zookeeper who’s also a zombie.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
