A charming twist on a classic gothic tale, a classic villain is turned into the good guy in this story that explores modern themes and issues.

‘But there wasn’t any harm in making one human ... ’

Frankie is fed up of his nasty monster classmates and bored of being lonely in freaky Frankenstein Castle. What he needs is a friend. But since monsters are mean and werewolves are scary, Frankie decides to make his own friend – a human!

But with a mind of his own, this new friend might make Frankie realise why humans were banned from Monsterweld in the first place …

About the Gruesomely Good and Monstrously Misunderstood series:

Inspired by famous villainous characters from Gothic literature, this series turns tales upside down, making notorious villains into lovable protagonists. Fun, imaginative and slightly spooky, these light-hearted tales will take readers aged 7-9 into a vibrant world of monsters, vampires and hounds, and show how being a monster isn’t as easy as it seems.
