In fact, getting sick and dying can be a big, ugly mess--especially before the modern medical care that we all enjoy today. From King Tut's ancient autopsy to Albert Einstein's great brain escape, <i>How They Croaked</i> contains <i>all</i> the gory details of the awful ends of nineteen awfully famous people. <p/><b>Don't miss the companion, <i>How They Choked</i>!</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"O'Malley's cartoon portraits and spot art add just the right notes of humor to keep the contents from becoming too gross. This all-too-informative study deserves the wild popularity it will without doubt acquire." - Booklist, starred review<BR>"The most reluctant of readers will find it difficult to resist this consistently disgusting chronicle of the gruesome deaths of 19 will famous people. Bragg's informal, conversational style and O'Malley's cartoon illustrations complement the flippant approach to the subject; the energetically icky design includes little skulls and crossbones to contain page numbers. Engaging, informative and downright disgusting." - Kirkus "Bragg holds forth on nineteen Big Names whose demises have raised eyebrows, questions, and probably a few lunches... Carried away on a swift-flowing stream of body fluids, medical ineptitude, and O'Malley's deliciously snarky artwork, kids will agree they got exactly what they came for." - BCCB<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Georgia Bragg is the author of <i>Matisse on the Loose</i>, a middle-grade novel.
