Book Review

Fovea is having the worst summer of her life. It’s bad enough that her parents operate on dead bodies. It’s worse that they are the owners of the lab. And she thinks things couldn’t get any more awful after her ex-best friend leaks this information to THE ENTIRE SEVENTH GRADE! But then, Fovea is stuck working as the lab’s receptionist for the entire summer and meets some …volunteers…with outrageous demands. In this very funny book, Fovea finds unexpected friends who stand by her no matter what, and she realizes that those who don’t aren’t worth her friendship.

Magic, science, humor, friendship, family… THE MORTIFICATION OF FOVEA MUNSON has it all!
