Author Bel Olid made her debut in literature for teens with a recreation of Frankenstein in which a scientist aunt reconstructs the body of her sixteen-year-old niece after a serious accident. While clearly referencing the classic novel, it is a book with its own personality, told in short chapters and a keen style that gives readers’ imaginations a jolt. The narration is filled with ellipses and weighty silences and follows the protagonist’s search for answers to her past and her place in the present. This polished edition contains evocative illustrations that add to the book’s intense atmosphere.
