About the Author:
Review:
Before moving to the US in 2007, Glenn Murphy worked at the Science Museum in London, recruiting, training and overseeing the management of the 75-strong team of dynamic, bubbly science communicators who perform shows and interact with the public in the galleries. He now lives in North Carolina with his wife.
“[An] often-entertaining look at fears and phobias.” ―School Library Journal
“Reluctant readers, especially, will find Murphy's chatty, lighthearted approach appealing, enjoyable and informative.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“...overall this book gives practical information about real concerns. If readers' pants aren't scared off, they may laugh them off instead.” ―Booklist
“Phobiaphilia may not be a condition recognized by the APA, but every librarian can diagnose a patron who loves to be scared. Here's the treatment.” ―BCCB
