Looking for books that fit our monthly reading challenge this August? Try one of the favorites from our home shelf!

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel August 2024: Great to Have Every Body features the book THE MORTIFICATION OF FOVEA MUNSON by Mary Winn Heider.

The Munson’s own a cadaver lab where they perform surgeries on dead bodies. Which means Fovea is stuck working at the lab instead of going to summer camp. But she is by no means Dr. Frankenstein’s snuffling assistant! She’s nobody’s Igor!

That is, until three disembodied heads, left to thaw in the wet lab, start talking. To her. Out loud. And they need a favor.
