How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous
Georgia Bragg (2011), 192 pages
Audience: 4th Grade - 8th Grade
Many of the celebrities that we know from history- King Tut, Beethoven, Charles Darwin- had awfully gruesome ends. This fascinating book tells in gruesome detail of the deaths of 19 important figures from the past, not leaving out any of the blood, pus, stabbings, or organ removal. Full of information but never boring, this book will have you riveted. For an extra gross and exciting experience, listen to it on audio!
