Teen Frankenstein High School Horror edition by Chandler Baker Children eBooks

It's odd to see a character being called "Frankenstein" without irony or sarcasm. Everyone knows the reference, even if they might confuse the name with the monster instead of the creator. Just like in all the zombie movies where the characters have never seem to have seen a zombie movie, the story of Teen Frankenstein plays out in a world where the legendary Mary Shelley novel does not exist.
And similar to watching those zombie flicks, the audience comes into "Teen" knowing the basic plot and has to wait for the characters to catch up. Thankfully, author Chandler Baker doesn't waste time getting to the meat of the premise. Brilliant teenage Victoria "Tor" Frankenstein, following in the footsteps of her grandiose scientist father, is driven by stubborn determination to overcome her failure to reanimate lab rats when she comes into possession of the dead body of a teenage boy.
Once revived, she dubs the emotionless amnesiac "Adam" and swiftly tries to indoctrinate him into a normal high school life in the small town of Hollow Pines. However, the hunky, hulking figure of Adam does not blend into the background as well as the isolated Tor and her equally outcast sidekick, the sarcastic, yet loyal Owen. It plays out similar to Back to the Future, but instead of a popular new kid trying to manipulate the life of the social misfit, the situation is reversed. The highlight of the story are these school days, with the naive Adam often embarrassing Tor with eager attentiveness.
Meanwhile, problems arise stemming from Adam's hasty resurrection, bits of his memory begin to resurface, and, oh yeah, dead bodies begin appearing around town.
It all makes for a fun read, and its biggest fault might be that it is too short. Much more time could be spent delving into the few emotions that crop up in Adam's normally-blank state. And the cast of characters is not very deep, with only a handful of other characters even given enough time for the reader to learn their names. Especially when a major part of Adam's past life shows up, it feels rushed away and unsatisfying. As a result, the ending does not feel deeply integrated with the story as a whole. In fact, this story could really benefit from a long-form television treatment, like Smallville, but instead of discovering new superpowers or monsters each week, Adam would uncover old memories or fears.
Baker has a great sense of storytelling, keeping story chapters tight and compelling. Her descriptive first-person narrative crafts a well-envisioned environment and easily-pictured characters (though I really want to see if Tor's hair is really as clown-red as she defensively insists it's not). The occasional contemporary pop-culture references might soon date the story, but it really fits the teenage mindset. It was a bold choice to make the main character so intensively arrogant and self-absorbed in her genius that she's borderline unlikeable; The reader manages to connect with Tor's disconnected personality through her thoroughly likeable companions, Adam & Owen. The couple of instances where Tor begins to come out of her shell and actually participate in traditional high school activities makes me hopeful that we might see future installments in the life of this gifted, yet single-minded scientist.

Teen Frankenstein High School Horror edition by Chandler Baker Children eBooks Reviews

An old tale retold well!
Loved, loved, loved this book! Can't wait for the rest of the series!
Loved this book as much if not more than Alive! The characters were all fun and unique...I enjoyed reliving some of those typical high school personas that we all encounter. The story ended with me sad that it was over and wishing for more! Can't wait to read Teen Hyde.
Teen Frankenstein was creative and suspenseful throughout! It was a fun modern twist on a classic tale. I thought the book was entertaining and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time!
I enjoyed reading Chandler's Teen Frankenstein book. However, I was sometimes distracted when I remembered it was my granddaughter writing these words. I recommend this book for ages 12 to 80 plus. Bob Craig

Chandler, (being the genius she is)* takes Adam,Tor,Owen and me through a "modern spin" of an old story. You should go with her, too.
*grammie's know. Patsy A Craig
I adored this modern retelling of Frankenstein! It's smart, funny, and suspenseful, with crackling dialog and a great, self-reliant heroine who lives by her own wits. The cast of supporting characters is also awesome--there is a special place in my heart for Owen, the best friend everyone wishes they had. Can't wait for the next installment of High School Horror!!
A fun twist on the classic Frankenstein story that explores who the true monsters are (you know, cause some don't). Tor is a high school genius obsessed with manipulating science to resurrect the dead. After a terrible accident, she is stuck between choosing to turn herself in or cover up her tracks. Of course, she decides to cover her tracks by bringing a dead boy back to life....and then keeping him like a pet....to study......for science.

Each character was well rounded and much more than their classic roles. Tor's character is often frustrating and terrible but not because she's poorly written, she's just kind of a terrible person. Yet, at times I would find myself nodding along as Tor Frankensteined her way through a problem only to realize afterward how messed up her plan was. Her goofy BFF Owen is my absolute favorite and tries to be the moral compass in all of this. As for creature....he's kind hearted, loyal and protective and means well in everything he does though he maybe tries just a little too hard sometimes. He reminds me of a 3 year old trying to fit in with the big kids. This is a definite must-read for YA lovers.
