Zombie Makers by Rebecca L. Johnson*

When I read the review for this book, the reviewer promised that the book would not remain on the classroom library shelf. 
My eleven year stopped reading his fiction book for awhile so he could read pages from this book.  He thoroughly enjoyed reading about various gross, fascinating animals.  My husband even picked it up and read some pages and thought it was interesting.
This book shares about how different creatures  can take over the bodies of other creatures.
The first part shares what the creature does and then the second part offers a scientific explanation ("science behind the story").
*Highly recommend.
