My vote this round goes to Ghost Boys. I read Mason Buttle first and found it to be a bit boring. I was waiting for something big to happen for the majority of the book. When I was ten pages into Ghost Boys I was more entertained and intrigued than I had been halfway into Mason Buttle. I think Mason Buttle would be a good read for elementary aged kids, maybe around grade 5 or 6 (the main character is in grade 7). Ghost Boys would be more suitable for junior high, in my opinion. I would recommend it as a grade 8 independent read. It does remind me of The Hate U Give which a lot of grade 8 and grade 9 students have enjoyed.
As for my zombie pick, I honestly don't have one! I think Patron Saints of Nothing should be the Smackdown winner this year. I personally think it is better than the other reads.
