Kevin’s back—and now he’s an official baptized member of the Church. And there are some new people in Armadillo keeping him on his toes. The Cow Palace has a new manager who dresses in togas, carries around live snakes, and serves Greek baklava in a hamburger restaurant.
There’s also a new kid at school named Melonhead who is trying to help Kevin in his quest to impress the unusual Dr. Alfred Leopold Wallace in his honors life science class; however, Melonhead keeps ending up in the spotlight instead of Kevin. Marcy and Marshall are expecting a new baby any time, which means that Kevin will now become an uncle, with a balancing act: babysitting—and taking care of dead bodies. You’ll love the fun and adventure in Funeral Home Evenings, the exciting new sequel to My Mom’s a Mortician. [from publisher web site]
