The Mortification of Fovea Munson by Mary Winn Heider
5.0
Eek, this one has got me punning, too.
First of all, we pun at dinnertime - incessantly. As a family. So, if ever anyone could enjoy this book, it's us.
It's also the second book I've read this year where characters - kids - brave a morgue or, in this case, a cadaver lab. Proximity to the dead is a "hot" plot device.
Mix in a plethora of puns, partying grannies and talking heads singing barbershop, and you've got a great reading romp. Doesn't hurt that "mortify" is one of my favorite verbs, as well.
Enjoy!
