Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones (Gravediggers, 1) Paperback – Illustrated, September 10, 2013

That was , by far one of the best books I've ever read about zombies and"super-natural" beings.And I'm not usually into that stuff. It's a must read!

I completely love this book!!! There is a lot of adventure and action. The information is very clever. There is a lot of details. Wonderful!!!

i like this book. i would tell you why but that would ruin the story. the author is pretty good at writing so read it

I try to read Young Adult novels occasionally during the school year so that I know which ones to recommend to my students, and I now know that I can recommend Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones to my students who want a spooky tale that isn't too scary. Gravediggers focuses on three middle school students who head out to Homeroom Earth camp in Montana for a week of science immersion. Ian (a stubborn jock who strives to be popular), PJ (a scrawny film-buff), and Kendra (a socially awkward computer geek) are forced into the same camp group and reluctantly head out to pick wildflowers. Though Ian and PJ are friends, they rarely associate at school because Ian is afraid of being taunted, and Kendra's only association with Ian was a time when he teased her in class for being nerdy.After only a few minutes on the trail, they get bored, and when Ian spots a large buck in the woods by the trail, they begin chasing it trying to examine it. After coming to a clearing and watching the buck bound off, the three realize that they are lost. Kendra's compass isn't working, and the three have no idea where they are going, but after hiking for ages, they think that they have finally found a safe haven in an abandoned old cabin. Soon they find that the cabin isn't so abandoned after all - there is a skeleton in the basement and zombies hunting them down from the woods. What ensues is a two day race to outrun the zombies (and all of the other unnatural threats that haunt the forest).The book has great heart-pounding suspense, but the ages of the heroes seems a bit out of sync with the intended reader (while I think that some of my freshmen would enjoy the story, I don't know that they would be interested in reading about middle school protagonists). Also, the action is great up until the last few chapters of the book when it appears that author Christopher Krovatin rushed an ending in hopes of possibly following it up with a sequel. Overall, this is a good read for middle schoolers or early high schoolers, especially for readers who are fans of Darrin Shan novels.

My son Liked the Gravedigger series better than the American Chiller series (because he is getting older I guess)

This was a 10 star book because the author wrote and explained the book very well. I love this book

My teenager loves these books.

Gravediggers tells the story of three 11 year olds, Ian, Kendra and PJ and their Homeroom Earth field trip to the Montana wilderness. Kendra and Ian are sworn enemies because of a previous incident involving Kendra smacking Ian with a text book. PJ is Ian's oldest friend but he's not one of the "cool kids" so Ian is hoping to avoid him on this trip and hang with his jock friends instead. Kendra is intelligent but socially awkward and only has cyber friends that she has met online. Her parents are hoping she will make a new friend but Kendra is more concerned with amping up her vocabulary and collecting nature specimens. After Ian is put into a group with the very people he was avoiding the action begins. Ian spots a large buck and takes off into the woods after it to get a picture. Not wanting him to get lost the others follow him into the forest and end up getting lost. The book tells the story of their struggle to find their way back and to avoid being eaten by zombies. I thought the book had an interesting start but the middle was slow and the ending was anticlimactic. The fact that it was humorous helped bump up its rating from 2 stars to three. I think fans of the zombie genre and reluctant readers will enjoy this book.
