Review Quotes

"There's a lot of humor--especially in Adam's not-too-successful attempts at imitating teen behavior. Tor is a prickly, unintentionally abrasive character whom some readers will find downright refreshing." --Kirkus Reviews

"Shelley's classic gets a modern makeover in this first book in the High School Horror series.... a healthy dose of atmospheric horror." -- Publishers Weekly

"In this trilogy opener, Baker takes the essence of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; throws in heaps of high school drama; mystery, and murder; and then sets it in the small town of Hollow Pines, TX." -- School Library Journal

"First in the proposed High School Horror trilogy, this offers some scares as well as a strangely compelling protagonist. Recommend to fans of Shelley's original and teens ready for more intrigue than R. L. Stine's Fear Street series has to offer." --Booklist

"Chandler Baker's Teen Frankenstein puts a nice twist on a classic tale. It's a delightful, frightful, but emotional story which blends fantasy with modern day." -- John C. Farris, deadburiedandback.com
