Victor writes the following about The Boy Who Couldn't Die :
I think that this is the best book I've ever read in my whole entire life. The book is about a boy named Ken, and Ken's best friend is killed in a plane crash, Ken is so shaken that he decides he’ll do anything to become invulnerable. He answers an ad in the back of a psychic magazine that promises "Freedom from Death" and gets a weird ritual done. Bullies can't hurt him, heat can't burn him, and when he convinces his parents to go on a family vacation to the Caribbean to scuba dive, he discovers that even sharks can't bite him. But he also starts to have terrifying dreams that feel real, about digging up graves and knifing strangers. When he trusts Sabine to tell her, she tells him that he has become a zombie. He must reclaim his soul, and she travels with him to the Adirondack Mountains to go in a dangerous dive under the ice of a lake to find his soul hidden in an underwater cave, guarded by the zombie of his best friend Roger, before his soul is used for evil.
