This Dark Endeavor: The Apprenticeship of Victor FrankensteinBy Kenneth Oppel
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2011. 298 pgs. Young Adult
Twin brothers Victor and Konrad Frankenstein are inseparable. When Konrad falls gravely ill, Victor decides to venture into the family’s forbidden Dark Library to find the recipe for the Elixir of Life to cure Konrad. With the help of his friends, Elizabeth and Henry, they seek help from an infamous apothecary that can aid them in deciphering the recipe. The bonds of brotherhood and friendship are tested as they encounter various obstacles to get the needed supplies.
Once again, Oppel, with his great writing style, sweeps you away into an adventure that lets you glimpse into the reason why as an adult Frankenstein would create his monster.
