The Life of a Teenage Body-Snatcher
This is an amusing read with a winning hero and some convincing period detail(it is set in England in 1828. I enjoyed it but the ending felt rushed and tacked on. As if Mr. MacLeod's imagination (normally capable of great flights of fancy)has suddenly deserted him.
Adam has a lot to deal with - his Grandfather just passed away, he's met a new girl who may or may not think he's funny; and his little brother who has Aspergers may take everything that he says literally.

With guests dropping off, maybe his parents will have to sell after all.… (mehr)
