(Oh yes, this book has some gross-out material!) If the maggots don’t get them hooked, surely they’ll want to read to find out how Crow stays “alive” without a beating heart! This is a book that will probably spend more time in students’ hands than on the shelf.Īs a teacher, I appreciated the themes of friendship, selflessness, and self-discovery. I knew right away that kids would love this book when I read about the maggots crawling out of Crow’s ears and nose. I tried to read through my teacher lens as well as my student lens. In fact, fans of Neil Gaiman’s writing would likely enjoy this dark and humorous story. The cover, the title, and the description spoke to the Neil Gaiman fan in me. Though its publish date is September 29, 2015, this was a book I wanted to read right away. I had the privilege of reading “Dead Boy” via NetGalley‘s website. ![]()
