pickYoung readers looking for a story about a middle schooler forced to work in her parents‘ cadaver lab when her summer plans fall through—and who among them isn‘t?!?—have to look no further. Heider has craft an uproariously funny story with a heaping side of “those disembodied talking heads want what exactly?” about friendship (those who really aren‘t & those who might be), regrets, dreams, & living life to its fullest. A fun, poignant read.
@sblbooks I normally run kids and ya book clubs. If I did all the choosing here would be my list. The only real rule I have is to not read the same genre twice (even if it kills me).
1. Classic- SecretGarden
2. Humor- Mortification of fovea Munson
3. Horror- Small Spaces
4. Sci-fi- Sal and Gabi
5. Fantasy- Dark Crystal
6. Political- prince & Dressmaker
7. Drama- invisible Emmie

pickQuirky and fun, this MG novel deals with the various aspects of friendship and what that word means. It just also happens to be set in a family medical lab and feature three bodiless heads as characters. One of my favorite things about this was the fact that after the shock of the fact that a bodiless head could talk, no one asked any questions. They just accepted them as is and went on about their days. Ah for the suspended disbelief of youth...
