Our review

This is a book that has kept us hooked from the beginning. Although it is classified as young adult literature, it can be enjoyed at any age. In fact, it is a journey that every Frankenstein lover must read, as it delves into the historical roots of the novel.

Can you imagine passing through a portal that connects two eras: the 21st and 18th centuries? That's what happens to the protagonists of this fascinating novel that immerses you in a gothic atmosphere, where Frankenstein is as real as you and I.

It is the winning book of the Edebé Young Adult Literature Prize 2022 and the National Children's and Young Adult Literature Prize, among others. It has some violent scenes, so it is advisable to read it from the age of 14 (or 12 if one is mature enough to understand it).
