Two hundred and sixty-four years after the first awakening, the
family line stops momentarily, perhaps forever, in the body of a
child. Victor is a second-grader growing up with a very unique
family history: he is a direct descendant of the monster created by
his namesake, Victor Frankenstein. Understandably proud of this
distinction, his effort to share this remarkable fact with his
classmates and teachers backfires, and he becomes a target on the
playground.
He is not without allies. With the help of his grandmother,
Elizabeth, and his best friend, Michelle, he learns the origin of
his family's strange history straight from Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein. He learns how that story continued with the
surprising journey of the monster and his monster-bride to America.
And finally, he learns about the end of making monsters on earth.
But there are elements in this history about which even those
closest to it are unaware. Wonders abound and dangers lurk for
Victor and his loved ones in unexpected places.
"Monster Talk" is a poignant tale about the power of reading,
the complexity of love, the wonder and terror of growing up, and
the moral ambiguity of the species, human and monster both.
