The Love Curse of the Rumbaughs
by Jack Gantos
Buy book: $10.53

In his third book for young adults, Gantos scripts a completely original drama. With gothic flavor and black humor, he depicts a group of people bound together by love, compulsion . . . and a passion for taxidermy.

A "spook-tacular" tale has caught me by the ear! The introduction drops the bait and the line is off and running! It sounds great.

This seems a little creepy... perfect for this month and Halloween! I must admit taxidermy has always freaked me out.... :/
But it seems great.

does anybody think that the taxidermied animals are really Rumbaugh ancestors? it seems likely to me, especially after reading a short story call "The Landlady" by Roald Dahl.

interesting idea...
This book reminds me sort of Lily's Ghosts by Laura Ruby. I think i really like it. I'm going to get it from the library as soon as possible.

Well... I read the book. It was a great book in my opinion, but I can't think of anyone I know to recommend it to, because I think only certain people could read the book without being horrified, or at least a little disturbed. I think to read it you just have to accept it as it is and don't expect it to be necessarily completely ethinically correct.
