9 posts | 9 read | 3 to read
When angsty teenager Mary Shelley is not interested in carrying on her family's celebrated legacy of being a great writer, but she soon discovers that she has the not-so-celebrated and super-secret Shelley power to heal monsters, just like her famous ancestor, and those monsters are not going to let her ignore her true calling anytime soon.Everyone expects sixteen-year-old Mary to be a great writer. After all, her mother, her aunt, and her grandmother are all successful writers (as they constantly remind her)--not to mention her famous namesake, the OG Mary Shelley, horror author extraordinaire. But Mary is pretty sure she's not cut out for that life. She can't even stay awake in class! Then one dark and rainy night, she's confronted with a whole new destiny. Mary has the ability to heal monsters... and they're not going to leave her alone until she does.With the help of a mysterious (and mysteriously cute) stranger, a Harpy, a possessed stuffed bunny, and her BFF Rhonda, Mary must uncover her family's darkest secret if she's going to save the monster world... and herself.

This was a fun little graphic novel about Mary, the fictional descendant of Mary Shelley, who is pressured by her family to become a writer but suddenly discovers a new power to heal the dead. The ending has me hoping this becomes a series

The beginning is always today.

What a serendipitous first line to open on for my first graphic novel of the year.

Started off my Halloween month with this spooky fun YA graphic novel by Reading Glasses podcast cohost Brea Grant. Loved the funny quips, creepy twists, quirky ghosts and especially the perplexed great x 5 granddaughter trying to live up to her famous ancestor‘s legacy. A perfect homage to author/radical thinker Mary Shelley. Brilliant premise...hope there‘s more to come.

Y‘all this was fantastic. I love a good book about writers and this checks that box several times, along with magic monsters and general mayhem.

Just pre-ordered this. I think it'll make a great Spooktober read! I also love the author's podcast, Reading Glasse, and wanted to support her work 🤓🎃

AutumnRLS I love her. I'm sure this is going to be awesome! 4y
