My girls love a good read. They're constantly reading. So much in fact, that we're regularly having to shut out the lights much past bedtime (something I hate to do…who wants to tell their kids they can't read any longer?!). Thanks Disney for sending these free products for me to review. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
My twins both dug this book and it's the perfect spooky book for Halloween! We have a giveaway for one lucky reader, with an “eerie-sistable” prize pack that includes a copy of “The Mortification of Fovea Munson” + $50 Gift Card Giveaway. Use the Rafflecopter below to enter to win.
About the Book “The Mortification of Fovea Munson”
By Mary Hinn Heider, Published by Disney-Hyperion
In Stores Now! Released June 5, 2018
Recommended for ages 8–12
Fovea Munson is nobody's Igor.
True, her parents own a cadaver lab where they perform surgeries on dead bodies. And yes, that makes her gross by association, at least according to everyone in seventh grade. And sure, Fovea's stuck working at the lab now that her summer camp plans have fallen through. But she is by no means Dr. Frankenstein's snuffling assistant! That is, until three disembodied heads, left to thaw in the wet lab, start talking. To her. Out loud. What seems like a nightmare, or bizarre hallucination, is not. Fovea is somebody's Igor, all right. Three somebodies, actually. And they need a favor.
With a madcap sense of humor and a lot of heart (not to mention other body parts), this is a story about finding oneself, finding one's friends, and embracing the moment.
