Review Rating: 5 Stars - Congratulations on your 5-star review! Reviewed By Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite The Skullington Family: School is a Grave Mistake is a children's book written by M. J. Evans and illustrated by Yana Karpenko. So often, children (and adults too) are terrified of what they do not know through lack of experience. Children withdraw into themselves and hide away, so they do not have to face what they fear, which builds and builds into a giant monster created inside their heads. Fearful of what his first day at school will be like, Max Skullington is deathly afraid of what will happen when he arrives. Will his teacher or fellow students be mean or scary to him? Will they want to hurt him? Max ponders the many different scenarios possible for his first day of school and thinks the worst will greet him - but receives a pleasant surprise on his arrival. I immensely enjoyed The Skullington Family: School is a Grave Mistake. With the clever use of comedy, M. J. Evans has presented the scary bubble in which a child's thoughts reside and the many possible outcomes these thoughts produce, each more frightening than the last. When Max was forced to face his irrational fear after much reassurance from friends and family, he quickly saw how silly that fear was. The teacher and students were all meeting each other for the first time, and a smile is a wonderful first impression to make on anyone. M. J. Evans' delightfully written tale would suit young readers aged 4-12 so that they can learn to allay their worries. The Skullington Family: School is a Grave Mistake has earned a place on the top shelf of my home bookshelf where all quality reading resides. Review Rating: 5 Stars - Congratulations on your 5-star review! Reviewed By Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite A young boy discovers his fears aren't as bad as he'd imagined in the adorable children's picture book The Skullington Family: School is a Grave Mistake by M.J. Evans. Max Skullington is scared to the bone. In a few days, he and his sisters, Tibia and Ulna, will be going to school. While Tibia and Ulna can hardly wait to go back, Max, who has never been, doesn't know what to expect. Poor Max is terrified that the other children will make fun of him, and the work will be too hard. Convinced that going to school will be a grave mistake, Max tries to convince his mother otherwise. Can Max face his fears? Will school be as bad as he imagines? Prepare for school with the skeleton children in the charming children's story The Skullington Family: School is a Grave Mistake by M.J. Evans. Every child experiences fears or feels anxious about new things in their life, whether it's about trying something different, going to a new place, or simply pushing oneself out of their comfort zone. Max's fear of being different or not enough helps young readers explore their own fears safely while going to school with him. It is a spectacular book with charming illustrations that are spooky enough for the characterization, but at the same time remain encouraging and engaging. The fun characters and the empowering storyline is educational and humorous. This enchanting book will delight young readers who are starting school or are about to advance to a new grade and is highly recommended for one and all.
