Bookroo's summary

In Quirkville, Reginald is a zombie with a unique craving: peanut butter and jelly. While his fellow zombies moan for brains, Reginald dreams of sticky sandwiches. As he tries to convince his undead pals there's more to life than brains, he faces the challenge of bringing peace to the town. Can Reginald's unusual appetite lead to harmony, or will he remain the odd zombie out? Dive into this quirky tale of self-discovery and see if Reginald can change the minds of his brain-hungry friends.

From the publisher

Reginald isn’t like the other zombies who shuffle through Quirkville, scaring the townspeople and moaning for BRAINSSSSS! The only thing Reginald’s stomach rumbles for is sticky peanut butter and sweet jelly. He tries to tell his zombie pals that there’s more to life than eating brains, but they’re just not interested. Will Reginald find a way to bring peace to Quirkville and convince the other zombies that there’s nothing better than PB&J? Debut author Joe McGee and up-and-coming illustrator Charles Santoso have created a delicious tale about being true to yourself that will make readers hungry for more.
