Frankenstein: Abridged for Young Readers
A beloved classic adult novel skilfully abridged to inspire and engage a new generation of middle-grade readers, from a hugely popular bestselling children's author.
I, Victor Frankenstein, will explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation...
Driven by a boundless ambition to create life itself, young scientist Victor Frankenstein creates his own being from stitched-together body parts. But when he succeeds in bringing his creature to life, the result is horrific; a towering, hideous-bodied monster with the innocent soul of a newborn child. Spurned by its creator and rejected by society, the initially gentle creature turns on its maker and wreaks a trail of vengeful murder and tragedy.
The original work of horror/science fiction abridged for today's young readers.
