BRUCE COVILLE is the bestselling author of dozens of books, including Armageddon Summer (cowritten with Jane Yolen), My Teacher Is an Alien, Into the Land of the Unicorns, and The Monsters of Morley Manor. He lives in Syracuse, New York.
Bruce Coville is in top form (and that's very good indeed!) as he tells the story of Charlie Eggleston, whose problems in the real world are nothing compared to his problems with Mr. Elives' Magic Shop and the wisecracking Skull of Truth he picks up there. From the squeaky talking mice, Jerome and Roxanne, to the mysterious Hyacinth Priest, the cast of 17 voices is spot on, and Coville himself obviously enjoys Telling stories as much as he enjoys writing them. Lively and funny, Skull teaches while it entertains, and at the end the cavernous descent to return the Skull to its "true" home will emerge in your mind's eye as a light and sound extravaganza. M.C.
