How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous

by Georgia Bragg
illustrated by Kevin O'Malley
Hennepin County Library hardcover 163 pages

Interesting, informative, well-designed. Not as gruesome as the warnings describe, but gross enough that most middle schoolers will be caught up in it. Some of these deaths I knew about, but I definitely learned some new things. And yes, I do appreciate modern hygiene, medical knowledge, etc.

Caesar, Cleopatra, Beethoven, Einstein, Curie, etc.
