New Book

I just started a new book this evening. It is called Monster High by Lisi Harrison (the same author of The Clique). Since I am only on page 3, the only things that I can say about the setting is that it appears to be in a labortory of some type. The reason why I say this is because the character - Frankie Stein - is listening to her parents talk about her being able to "wake up" and that her bolts are charged enough yet for her to do that. This, without a doubt, is a reference to Frankenstein by Mary Shelly.

I picked this book up mostly because when I was looking through the toy department with Adian, I came across some dolls that were great fun because they were the kids of famous horror movie icons. I totally wanted one almost immediately! I know that there are many more characters to come; Dracula's daughter, the Wolfman's daughter, obviously Frankie Stein (Dr. Frankenstein's daughter), the Creature from the Black Lagoon's daughter, the Mummy's daughter, and the son of someone else whom I can't remember at this time.
