Bookroo's summary

Victor Frankenstein discovers how to bring the dead to life and assembles a huge creature from stolen parts. Horrified by what he has made, he abandons it. The creature means no harm, but rejection and cruelty turn it toward revenge. An easy-to-read chapter-book retelling of Mary Shelley's novel.

From the publisher

This timeless classic is now an easy-to-read chapter book! Victor Frankenstein learns the secret of producing life, and so, by putting together parts of various corpses, he creates the Frankenstein monster. The monster is huge and disformed, but he means no harm to anyone--until constant ill treatment drives him to murder and revenge.
