Usborne Books - Frankenstein - Rosie Dickins

This is a new title in "Young Reading Series Three", which is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories. Victor Frankenstein dreams of doing what his scientific peers called impossible; creating life from death. As lightning flashes across the sky, his creature stirs. But will it be the perfect being he imagines, or a monster? The book is hauntingly illustrated by Victor Tavares, illustrator of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Dracula". It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a senior lecturer in education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University. It is also beautifully produced hardback with ribbon marker.
