pickFree verse paired with stunning art to tell the stort of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“A woman's writing could be just as important as a man's“.
This book would be great in a history context learning about classic literature and women in writing.
pickPicturebook - This is a beautiful story about how Mary Shelly created Frankenstein. I love the history that is provided in this book about a monster that many people know and love.
My son really liked this one, and it was a little spooky to him since the artwork is very gothic. I enjoyed reading this to him tonight.
Sneaking in a second book for #CoverLove #Monster since this really does have the most amazing cover art, and the book matches the cover in just how cool it is. YA historical nonfiction biography about teenaged Mary Shelly tracing the inspiration behind and writing of Frankenstein, told from her POV in free verse over full page illustration spreads on every page. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
My class is working on rough drafts of their mystery stories, so in between answering questions, I can catch up on my re-read of the course text. It's always amusing to me how many tiny details I remember and how many big plot points I forget.
“They never say, I love you with all my kidneys. I love you with my liver. They never say, my gall bladder is yours and yours alone. No one says, she broke my appendix.”

so-soI have mixed feelings. The story is imaginative and compelling. There are two storylines, one following Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein, and a parallel thread set in the future. I loved the part about Mary Shelley, and wish the entire book had been written about her. The other thread was less successful. I found the treatment of a transgender character and female characters in that storyline were problematic.
