# Frances and the Monster - Hardcover

by **Refe Tuma** (Author)

**"A joy to read!" -- _New York Times_ bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix**

**What would you do if you accidentally brought a monster to life and set him loose on your town?**

**Adventurous and charming, this middle grade twist on _Frankenstein_ features a precocious main character who does just that. Perfect for fans of _Serafina and the Black Cloak_ and the Greenglass House series_._**

Frances Stenzel was just trying to prove her scientific worth to her parents so they would take her with them to their scientific symposiums for once--instead, she reawakened her great-grandfather's secret and most terrible invention.

Before it can destroy the town, she sets off after it, with her pet chimp and sarcastic robot tutor by her side. But monster-hunting isn't easy, and she'll have to face a persistent constable, angry locals, and an unexpected friendship ahead--all while the trail for the monster goes cold and time is running out before her science career, and the city itself, are doomed forever.

**Full of thrills and heart alike, _Frances and the Monster_ takes readers through winding streets and over perilous rooftops, with wily monsters, unpredictable twists, and powerful friendships waiting along the way.**
