this graphic novel recreates the original story well; this book includes a paragraph about Mary Shelley, Michael Burgan (retelling author), and Dennis Calero (the illustrator); it includes glossary, “Frankenstein Facts!,” Discussion Questions, Writing Prompts, and Internet Sites (for example, check out facthound.com; put in ISBN 1598898302, then hit fetch) (
