Middle Grade Book Review: Monstrous by MarcyKate Connolly

I WILL NEVER FORGET MY FIRST BREATH, GASPING, HEAVING, DELICIOUS.

Monstrous is a simply delightful book, one that can be equally enjoyed by both the young reader and their older counterparts. Partly re-imagined Frankenstein and partly inspired fairy tale as those famous Brothers Grimm would spin, Monstrous is both lyrical and simple. A tale that speaks to the heart, one that can be appreciated without elaborate workings but enjoyed for the simple lessons it imparts. Bravery, friendship, good vs. bad, and the ultimate power of sacrifice.
