Dyslexia-friendly and ultra-gripping, Tanya Landman’s retelling of Mary Shelley’s pioneering Frankenstein novel is the perfect gateway for readers to discover the power and magic of the dazzling original.
The pace and potent clarity of Shelley’s gothic story of a monstrous creation turning on its creator has been brilliantly recreated by Landman. Alongside capturing Frankenstein’s menacing atmosphere, remarkably this re-telling also retains a strong sense of Shelley’s style. It’s lucid and sharp, evocative and emotional, but never veers from its purpose of delivering an accessible rendition of a complex book. Hats off to Tanya Landman — this will surely ignite passion for the novel in countless young readers who might otherwise have struggled.
