pickFree verse paired with stunning art to tell the stort of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
My son really liked this one, and it was a little spooky to him since the artwork is very gothic. I enjoyed reading this to him tonight.
Sneaking in a second book for #CoverLove #Monster since this really does have the most amazing cover art, and the book matches the cover in just how cool it is. YA historical nonfiction biography about teenaged Mary Shelly tracing the inspiration behind and writing of Frankenstein, told from her POV in free verse over full page illustration spreads on every page. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
My class is working on rough drafts of their mystery stories, so in between answering questions, I can catch up on my re-read of the course text. It's always amusing to me how many tiny details I remember and how many big plot points I forget.
“They never say, I love you with all my kidneys. I love you with my liver. They never say, my gall bladder is yours and yours alone. No one says, she broke my appendix.”

so-soAn enjoyable depiction of Mary Shelley's teenage life before she met Shelley and at the Italian lakes with Shelley and Byron. I did find parts repetitive at times.
