Series: Classic Retellings

A gripping and gruesome retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein brought to life for a new generation of readers by Carnegie Medal winning author Tanya Landman.

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. Tanya Landman revisits Mary Shelley’s classic Gothic horror story, bringing to life Dr Frankenstein and his monstrous creation in an accessible format that more readers can enjoy.

Reviews for Frankenstein: A Retelling

Tanya Landman tackles the original voice and narrative so well that this gripping and accessible tale is so recognisable but still captivating in its own form. -- Emma Suffield [Tanya Landman] has handled this with great skill, bringing the granddaddy of science fiction horror to a new audience! -- Dan Smith 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 ... It's lucid and sharp, evocative and emotional, but never veers from its purpose of delivering an accessible rendition of a complex book. -- LoveReading4Kids
