It’s an interesting spin on Frankenstein. Crazy to think a teen found a way to bring someone back from dead after she hit him with her car but it definitely made it interesting!

This was a fun Frankenstein retelling that had great twists and turns to prepare us for the rest of the series. Victoria Frankenstien is a smart and determined character with a penchant for science. She ends up bringing a boy back to life after killing him, and this sets off a series of events that was quite entertaining to read through. In this case I really enjoyed the characters. After Adam is brought back to life, he is quite fond of Tor and presents this in the most blunt, straight faced way ever which is hilarious and endearing all at once. Then Tor is just so sarcastic and funny, truly a scientist inside and out. This was a story that can be easily read and enjoyed in one sitting!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for an free copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
I've previously read Whisper Network by Chandler Baker and found it good but not great. In searching through my NetGalley books, I forgot about this book , Teen Frankenstein... low and behold written by Chandler Baker, the same one who has a new book out titled "The Husbands". At this point, I had to read this one and now... a YA and classic twist on an old story. win win.
Yes, I found it to be a winner! A updated version of Frankenstein where the mad scientist is a mediocre teenage girl. This was a really neat twist on the original story of Frankenstein , following the premise of bringing a dead person back to life.. But this time as a teenager who is on a mission to win a science project contest. Really well written and not an annoying YA, but just enough teenage angst to fit the genre. I'll give this one 4.5 stars and makes me want to seek out more books by this author.
