novel
Frankenstein, Mary Shelley’s classic novel, has been beautifully illustrated and rewritten as a graphic
novel. The flow and balance
of the various page structures help create the tone of the story. Lastly the use of
scratch board illustrations effectively provides a dramatic tone to the book. This book is one in the Dark Graphic Novels series, which consists of three books at this
time. This is a very well-written book that
will resonate well with many young readers. It is
recommended as an essential book for any middle-
or high-school library, and it would make an excellent selection for a basic books list for
school libraries.
