Books about body parts, croaking and choking!

I love this book, it is delightfully creepy and gruesome!
I read this book as part of the Young Hoosier Book Award Program, it is nominated for the 2019-2020 school year.

Scholastic has a great book trailer in which Carlyn Breccia describes her book, readers will enjoy this tease of creepy information.

The author Carlyn Beccia does a great job of balancing macabre and the middle grade reader. Readers will enjoy the creepy subject matter and the mysteries surrounding famous body parts including:

The famous people and their body parts include:
Galileo Galilei / Fingers
Louis XIV / Heart
George Washington / Teeth
Franz Joseph Hadyn / Head
Beethoven / Hair
Abraham Lincoln / Body
Chang and Eng Bunker / Liver
Phineas Gage / Skull
John Wilkes Booth / Neck vertebrae
Sarah Bernhardt / Leg
Vincent Van Gogh / Ear
Mata Hari / Head
Albert Einstein / Brain
Elvis Presley / Wart
Thomas Edison / Last Breath



The book contains many illustrations that add humor and depth to the stories.





If this book entertains you I would also recommend these books by Georgia Bragg. Readers will be fascinated by these tales of famous people croaking, choking and being caught!
