(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Bill Basso. Sam teases his brother Robert about his gerbil then feels horrible when the gerbil dies. He gets his mother's new boyfriend, a taxidermist, to stuff the gerbil, and the tooth-baring result leads Sam and Robert to suspect the taxidermist of being a zombie. The pseudo-humorous plot strains belief, but the brothers' relationship rings true. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the text.
