This is Frankenstein meets Oliver Twist as a teen book. Billy is a London pickpocket who finds himself as an ally of Mister Creecher, Frankenstein's monster. Mister Creecher is determined to get from Frankenstein what has been promised and needs Billy's help. I don't want to give away too many plot details so I'll leave it at that. I really enjoyed this book, finding it a great behind-the-scenes look at two great classics, up until the end. This book left me feeling the same way The Hunchback of Notre Dame did, wanting to rewrite it with an ending I liked instead. But that is the way a good book works, making you feel ownership of the characters and the storyline. I really think Lisa Brown would enjoy this book.
