Frankenstein Journals

Fourteen-year-old J.D. discovers Dr. Frankenstein's Journals -- and that he is the son of Frankenstein's monster! J.D. always wanted a big family. Well, he's got it! -- all the people who made up his dad and their living descendants. Readers will rush headlong through J.D.'s quest in a flurry of mixed media images, maps, charts, and diary entries as he unlocks clues in the mad scientist's journals.

Clues lead him to the donor of his dad's right eye: a world famous detective from the 1940s whose grandson is now a detective himself. It's a good thing J.D. has inherited the sleuth's super skills, (along with his pale blue eye), because he also accidentally stumbles into his cousin-detective's most difficult case. And J. D. becomes the prime suspect! Readers will unscramble the pieces of the story through diary entries, mixed media images, and diagrams of mad science. Because if the young Frankenstein can't solve the crime, he'll be locked up for the rest of his strange, unnatural life!
