Publisher's summary

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 14 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.

So stinking cute and fun

My son read this last year in 4th grade for a bluebonnet project. Like most kids his age, reading isn't as fun as video games, and he isn't a strong reader, but he couldn't stop listening to this book, he loved it and made an A on his project! Super fun-lighthearted read. If you are worried it won't be a good fit because of the title, don't be, its a family friendly book that we still say quotes from at home. Awesome book, very well written.

They plan to listen to audio again.

The stars are from my 13 year old and 5 year old boys. We read the book first for read aloud. The boys enjoyed the audio but said mom did a better job reading the book. They wished the narrator had a bit more fun with the reading.

Can't get enough!

This was on a Barnes and Noble reading list for summer, and so I went to my local library to find it. We had to renew it three times, we read it so much! I read a few chapters to my boys before bedtime and then had to buy the audible for when I'm out of town for work. These books are definitely going on our Christmas lists and I can't wait until there are more!

My 9 year old (4th grader) and 5 year old love it! The main character is in 6th grade, so it would apply to a large range of young readers!
