Rex Dexter is itching to have a dog. He was practically born to have one. His name is Rex, for crying out loud. It' s a dog' s name. Any pooch is preferable, but a chocolate Labrador is the pinnacle. The best of the best. The dream of all dreams. When Rex' s B-Day for Me-Day finally arrives, his parents surprise him with a box. A box with holes. A box with holes and adorable scratchy noises coming from inside. Could it be? Yes! It has to be! A . . . a . . . Chicken? Pet poultry? How clucky. One hour and fourteen minutes later, the chicken is dead (by a steamroller), Rex is cursed (by the Grim Reaper), and wild animals are haunting Rex' s room (hounding him for answers). Even his best friend Darvish is not going to believe this, and that kid believes everything. Rex' s uninvited ghostly guests are a chatty, messy bunch. And they need Rex to solve their mysterious deadly departures from the Middling Falls Zoo before it happens again. But how? New York Times best-selling author Aaron Reynolds delivers a wickedly funny debut title in The Incredibly Dead Pets of Rex Dexter series.
"Picture-book author Reynolds brings his knack for off-kilter comedy to his first novel in a gleefully entertaining fashion. "--Booklist Praise for The Incredibly Dead Pets of Rex Dexter * "In this entertainingly spooky romp, Reynolds tempers his morbid premise with the absurdity of Rex' s situation, the ghostly entourage' s distinct personalities, and a hilarious, simultaneously formal and sarcastic, narrative voice. "--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Reynolds is bound to attract fans drawn to overconfident Rex and whatever challenge the Grim Reaper cares to deal him. "--BCCB "Reynolds' new series debut is nonstop comedy. "--Kirkus "The mystery has a twist ending that will surprise and satisfy readers who thought they knew what was coming. . . . Purchase where funny books are popular-that' s everywhere, right? "--School Library Journal
