内容简介 While on a sleepover, Joe and Sam learn the meaning of a horror story as they get caught up in a real, live nightmare of their own! Join Joe and Sam as they come face–to–face with Frankenstein's monster, and take him back to the nineteenth century to drop him off with his creator, Mary Shelley. Will Joe and Sam fix everything with their time–warping power, or will Mary Shelley's famous monster be erased from history forever?
Ages: 6 – 11
作者简介 Jon Scieszka has been writing books for children since he took time off from his career as a teacher. He wanted to create books that boys would enjoy by enticing them with witty humor. He is the author of the crazy best-selling picture books The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and The Stinky Cheese Man. He has received several honors, including mentions on the ALA Notable Book and Publishers Weekly Best Children's Book lists, the Children's Choice Award, and the Caldecott Honor Medal. His original trade chapter book series, the Time Warp Trio, has sold over two million copies. Born in Flint, Michigan, Jon now lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two children.
专业书评 From BooklistScieszka's popular Time Warp Trio series has been adapted into an animated television series; now HarperCollins is publishing graphic-novel adaptations of the series episodes, using screen captures of the animation to illustrate the books. In this first volume, Frankenstein's monster confronts Joe and Sam in Joe's house, demanding that they help him locate his creator, Mary Shelley, so he can learn why she made him so ugly. They use Joe's special book to warp back to 1816 and find Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley, who are staying with Lord Byron. Then Joe loses his book, and the boys must soothe the angry monster and find the book so they return back home and prevent history from being changed. Although the illustrations are in full color, they tend to be a bit flat and fail to convey a real sense of movement. Fans of the print and television series, however, will still enjoy this reworking, and the book might lead reluctant and struggling readers to Scieszka's original stories.
Kat KanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved From School Library JournalGrade 3–6—First there were books, then there was a television show, now there are books adapted from the television show. The Time Warp Trio is fast becoming its own brand! In the first graphic novel, adapted from an episode's teleplay, the boys go back to 1816. Frankenstein's monster has come to life and is out for revenge. He's after Mary Shelley, the woman who created him and made him so ugly. The boys (Joe and Sam minus Fred) must again use the time-traveling book to set things right. While there's nothing new in this novel, the dialogue and characters are still funny, and the full-color pictures are almost snapshots of the episode. Fans of the series and the show will enjoy the format. Libraries with lots of "Trio" requests will want to make room for this one.—
