Victor Frankenstein is a scientist, who wants to know how things work including living things. He creates a monster out of dead body parts. Then the creature terrorizes the surrounding towns and Victor Frankenstein. Will he be able to stop the monster before it hurt more people?
This is one of my favorite classic books. There is action, a monster, and travel in it. It is fast paced and the author keeps you wanting to read more to see what will happen next. It also contains some good life lessons, such as losing a loved one and losing a friend. Frankenstein also demonstrates a love of learning because he learns all he can. There is conflict throughout this book, starting when he creates the monster, to the end of the book. The setting is in different places in Europe. It is told from Frankenstein’s point of view.
I would have the kids make a map of where they think the monster would go next and keep adding to it was we kept reading. I would have them draw a picture of what they think the creature would like look.

Good book with lots of scientific fiction and drama. ( )
