Man Made Boy by Jon Skovron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was awesome!! I love the idea of all of these magical monsters living in communes around the world (although it is sad that most of them have to stay hidden away) and Boy, the son of Frankenstein’s monster and the Monster’s bride, was a brilliant character to spend time with. Very much a coming of age story with teenage angst, restrictions and parents…. Breaking the rules, romance and finding out who you really are. Oh, and lots of little adventures along the way (dragon flying, trying to talk to The Sphinx, feeding Medusa rats….) The story was twice as good when Claire/Sophie appeared, grand-daughter of Jekyll/Hyde, they really taught Boy a lot about life, love, having fun and taking risks.
Such a different story but now that I loved.
