"Det var en trist novembernat". Sådan begynder historien om videnskabsmanden Frankenstein og hans monster. Men hvem var kvinden bag bogen? Læs historien om den unge Mary Shelley, og hvordan hun fandt på en af verdens mest legendariske historier.Mary elskede at dagdrømme og forestille sig alle mulige vidunderlige – og skræmmende – historier! Det var meget mere spændende end at læse. Mary, hendes ven digteren Percy Bysse Shelly og sin stedsøster besøger den berømte Lord Byron, og mens stormen raser udenfor fortæller de hinanden gyserhistorier i skæret af ilden fra kaminen. De taler også om teknologiens fremskridt og forestiller sig, hvordan fremtiden kunne forme sig … og langsomt tager historien om Frankensteins monster form i Marys hoved.Spændende biografi i børnehøjde om den fantastiske forfatter Mary Shelly, og hvordan hun fandt på historien om Frankensteins monster.En smuk og spændende bog om en helt særlig pige. De dystre og let groteske illustrationer i brune nuancer passer fantastisk godt til handlingen, og rent sprogligt vil bogen være en nydelse af læse højt. Men lidt uhyggelig er den også. Den indeholder en kort biografi om Mary og bogen.Anbefales til PLC og børnebiblioteker. Bogen kan bruges til emnearbejde om "Frankenstein", men også om børneliv på den tid.Lektørudtalelsen
