In other words, exactly what you’ve been waiting for.”–Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Inquisitor’s Tale“I absolutely adore this book! The Mortification of Fovea Munson is not only hilariously zany, and clever, it’s also full of heart. Mary Winn Heider is a brilliant new voice in kid’s books.”–Newbery Award winner, Matt de la Peña“Sure to tickle the most fickle funny bone.”–Kirkus Reviews“Equal parts screwball comedy, coming-of-age story, and tearjerker-I loved, loved, loved it!”–Varian Johnson, author of The Parker InheritancePraise for The Mortification of Fovea Munson: An Indies Introduce middle grade debut pick
