Karr, Kathleen._Skullduggery_.Hyperon, 2000 [0-7868-0506-4] It is 1839 Matthew is 12 and out of work and applies for a job with Dr. ABC who is a phrenologist. One of the things he has to do is to help him dig up the skulls of specific people so the Doctor may compare the skull to live's behavior. One of the graves they open contains many gold coins which the doctor acquires to help him with his research and world travel. One night someone muggs Matthew. They realize they are being followed -- even as they travel around the world looking for various skulls. It is a bizarre story of grave digging, phrenology, obsession, and intrigue. This 227 page book does work if you can get past the revulsion to grave robbing (which may attract many kids to the book.)
