    About this ebook

    Fourteen-year-old J.D. discovers Dr. Frankenstein's Journals -- and that he is the son of Frankenstein's monster! J.D. always wanted a big family. Well, he's got it! -- all the people who made up his dad and their living descendants. Readers will rush headlong through J.D.'s quest in a flurry of mixed media images, maps, charts, and diary entries as he unlocks clues in the mad scientist's journals. When he discovers his dad's feet came from a famous explorer whose grandson is trekking through the wastelands of Antarctica, J.D. sets out to track him down. But he's not alone. Soon, he's in a race against time with a mysterious villain who schemes to collect J.D.'s cousins and use them to build a new monster!

      The Frankenstein Journals - Scott Sonneborn

      BORRRRING. That’s how I’d describe the first

      13

      years of my life. Don’t get me wrong . . . living at Mr. Shelley’s Orphanage for Lost and Neglected Children® wasn’t ALWAYS bad. But, more often than not, life was just a big ol’ heaping helping of boredom.

      Thankfully, Year #14 made up for it all. Which is why I’m writing this journal. Because Year #14 needs to be remembered (or at least not forgotten).

      So, in case you were wondering, my future self, here’s what you looked like then . . .

      Hmm . . . you know, looking back, I can kind of see why I never got adopted. I suppose I made an odd first impression. Something about me just doesn’t quite match. Or, actually, a lot of things don’t:

      1. My right eye is blue and my left is green.

      2. I have short fingers on one hand and giant ones on the other.

      3. One leg is longer than the other.

      4. My feet are way too big for my legs (not to mention two completely different sizes!).

      Sure, not everyone noticed these qualities the first time they saw me. But anyone who spent time with me, like say, trying to decide if they wanted to take me home, saw them eventually.

      Growing up at Mr. Shelley’s Orphanage for Lost and Neglected Children®, I thought a lot about getting a family. I used to daydream all the time that somewhere out there I had the HUGEST family in the world. But Mr. Shelley, the orphanage director, never figured out who left me behind. Mr. Shelley always told me that he found me lying on a blanket in a box.

      He called me John Doe . . . J.D. for short.

      Although I wasn’t the greatest orphan, Mr. Shelley would be the first to tell you that he wasn’t the greatest orphanage director. For example, I was the ONE AND ONLY orphan at Mr. Shelley’s orphanage. The place wasn’t exactly what you’d call successful.

      In fact, the place was GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!

      One day, Mr. Shelley got a letter. The power company said they’d be shutting off the power sometime in the next 24 hours.

      And that’s when this monster mystery started . . .

      That’ll do it, said Mr. Shelley from inside his office. "I guess this is the last time I’ll see
