Interest Age 11+ Reading Age 9 | January 2023 Book of the Month
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.
A thrilling gothic tale of hubris gone badly wrong. A young man's search for the secret of the spark of life leads him to a horrific experiment in which he creates a gigantic creature from dismembered body parts. Rejected by his creator, the initially gentle creature turns monstrous when his desire to find companionship and love are thwarted.
