title: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: A Dark Graphic Novel (Dark Graphic Novels)
author:  Sergio A. Sierra 
description: This entry in the Dark Graphic Novel series is a fine addition to school and public libraries and would work well as a companion read for any curriculum that includes Shelleys original prose novel. Illustrator Ribas dark, clean, German woodcutinspired art perfectly matches the brooding tone of the original, and adapter Sierra whittles Shelleys flowery language and dialogue into more modern, palatable, and concise fare. Although this adaptation does cut much of the original story to allow the plot to move forward more quickly and maintain good comics pacing, it leaves the meat of the story intact, helping less advanced readers understand many of the classic novels heralded discussion points about morality, ethics, science, birth, rebirth, death, nature versus nurture, parental responsibility, revenge, stereotypes, assumptions, and more. With its solid hardcover, strong binding, and unique artwork, this adaptation is one that students will be able to make use of for years to come. Grades 7-10. --Candice Mack
