Review: Troubling Tonsils

 

Jasper Rabbit has bad news - he has to get his tonsils out. But he has a plan, he's going to put them in jar and save them for show and tell. When he goes in for the operation, his doctor discovers something strange....

My Thoughts: If you've read the Jasper Rabbit picture books, you'll want to read this one. It's a little creepy and a little silly, but also a lot of fun. Being so close to Halloween, it's the perfect time of year to read it.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books for Halloween

 This week's topic is a Halloween Freebie. I'm not one for scary books, but here are some thrillers on my TBR that I didn't get to this year (yet).

Have you read any of these?

Creepy Read: Trapped in the Horror Dome

Students win a trip of a lifetime to Earth Two, a research facility after winning the state science fair. Three students from one school join other students. Rowan and Tinker are friends. They are not friend with the third student - Amari. Because they three of them are from the same school, they are paired together for their volunteer work. 

In the swamp zone, they spy a small creature that's unlike anything they've ever seen before. The scientists don't believe the students saw anything out of the ordinary. Rowan and Tinker decide to uncover the truth...but they'll need Amari's help. Can the three uncover the truth about the creature?

My Thoughts: This book is part of the Monsterious series, which are stand-alone books about monsters and creatures. I really loved this one. I loved the idea of being in a research facility - that's really neat. I loved how it had different habitats. I wouldn't mind visiting a place like this - minus the monster of course. There was lots of action and danger in this book. I love how the three students became friends and understood each other better. Another great book from Matt McMann.

Cover Thoughts: Creepy!
