Gorgeous George and the Zigzag Zit-faced Zombies
Sneezing, sniffing, snogging and snots! Zombies, zebras and zits!
A chemical experiment by the military has gone wrong and the toxins are now airborne. The pupils of Little Pumpington primary school are breathing in the gas and their behaviour is becoming bonkers.
Do you still pick your nose? Do you sit next to someone in school who stills picks their nose? Do they eat it, even in secret, underneath their hand when they think no one else is watching? The Little Pumpington nose-pickers are taking over the school and their own bogies are not enough any more; they need to eat everybody else’s too.
These psychotic snot-zombies are on the rampage, feasting on the nostril contents of the entire town and the army will do nothing to prevent them.
Can Gorgeous George, Allison and Crayon Kenny find a cure before the military decide to blow up the school? With the help of Grandpa Jock, Ben and Barbara and a box full of the tissues, they must stop the snot-zombies biting their booger-crusted fingernails to the bone.
Parents will not be able to read this book. This book is for strong-stomached children only so no wimps need apply. This is last taboo known to mankind and way beyond the comprehension of adults. The older you are, the yuckier this book will be. You have been warned!
Must…..have….bogiieeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
Gorgeous George and the ZigZag Zit-faced Zombies is the another brilliant book in the Gorgeous George series. The action packed, bogie dribbling follow up to Gorgeous George & the Giant Geriatric Generator.
About The Author, Stuart Reid
Stuart Reid is an award winning children’s writing talent who is rapidly growing in stature. His first book, Gorgeous George & The Giant Geriatric Generator was the winner of the Silver Medal in the Forward National Literature Awards 2012. The follow up, Gorgeous George & The ZigZag Zit-Faced Zombies, released in January 2013 enjoyed a unique launch with dozens of schools across the UK taking part in ‘Snot Zombie Fun Days’.
Stuart is one of the busiest children’s authors around having embarked on a full time book reading tour in January, appearing at between 5 and 10 schools a week. So far he has read to over 60,000 children, and presented at well over 250 schools since August 2011.
Stuart is a member of the Society of Authors and is a member of The Scottish Book Trust.
The Wigtown Book Festival described him as : “Absolutely Brilliant!”
Stuart Reid is 43 years old, going on 14. Throughout his early life he was dedicated to being immature, having fun and getting into trouble. Occasionally, after scoring a goal in the playground Stuart was known to celebrate by kissing lollypop ladies, and he once broke his nose by running into a lamp-post with his jumper pulled up over his head.
Although not musically gifted, Stuart has the ability to play music using only the pumping noises from his armpits. Stuart once lobbied the British Olympic Committee to have ‘The Wedgie’ recognised as a national sport, creating both the ‘Giving’ and ‘Receiving’ categories and the scoring system with (skid) marks for technical merit, artistic impression and the durability/rippability of the underwear. He is allergic to ties; blaming them for stifling the blood flow to his imagination throughout his twenties and thirties.
Stuart was forced to spend the next 25 years being boring, professional and corporate. His fun-loving attitude was further suppressed by the weight of career responsibility, as a business manager in the retail and hospitality industries in the UK and Dubai. Stuart’s legs suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which means he has to wear shorts at all times.
His mid-life crisis offered a return to immature madness involving bogies, bums, burps, songs about poo and running about his snow covered garden in only his pyjamas. Stuart has been married for nearly twenty years. He has two children, a superman outfit and a spiky haircut.

Gorgeous George and the Zigzag Zit-Faced Zombies is a book aimed at children 9+ and is the action packed, bogie dribbling follow up to Gorgeous George and the Giant Geriatric Generator.
Sneezing, sniffing, snogging and snots! Zombies, zebra's and zits!
A chemical experiment by the military has gone wrong and the toxins are now airborne. The pupils of Little Pumpington Primary School are breathing in the gas and their behavior is becoming bonkers.
The story brings back my favorite colourful character Grandpa Jock, who along with George and his sidekick Allison must thwart the new menace - the Zigzag Zit face Zombies, who like feast on bogies - YUK.
The story opens in a wonderfully descriptive page that sets the eerie scene up really well. The accompanying pictures by Calvin Innes are fantastic too and help break up the text that some children can find too much.
Kian adored this book mostly because it is disgusting, although has strongly advised reading it just before dinner as it will put you off your food. I have been reliably informed that they are called Zigzag Zit faced Zombies because they stagger across the room in a zigzag fashion and are covered in spots.
The Zombies live for "Bogggggggiiiiiiieeeeeeesssssss!!!"
Read it at your peril!!

I didn't stop laughing all the way through this book. Gorgeous George and his friends uncover an outbreak of nose picking zombies in their school and the race is on, to stop the dreaded plague of the undead and well, far too nasally interested! The characters are straight from the school of canny kids with too much time on their hands (think famous five with snotballs!) the plot cracks along at a great pace, and it's just revolting enough to keep the most disgusting kids squirming in their seats. Excellent! I tested this on some of my 8-11 year old friends (special thanks to Jack!) and they were delighted by the sheer grottiness of in its pages!

A brilliant little read. My son and I read the first book together and were lucky enough to be picked to review 'Zombies' before it comes out in the shops. We (and I mean the both of us, not just my son) loved it. I'm a fan of horror films and I had a little chuckle to myself more than once throughout the book at the references to the classics. It was just scary enough for my son, without being too much. Five stars doesn't seem enough!
