This Dark Endeavor In his new novel for young adults, Kenneth Oppel gives us a glimpse into the teenage years of the twin Frankenstein boys, their cousin Elizabeth (who they are both in love with of course!) and their geeky bookworm friend. The discovery of a secret lab and ancient alchemy texts in the family castle's basement ignite the curiosity of the teens and they go about finding the elixir of everlasting life to cure Konrad's mysterious blood disease. There are some scary moments when the kids battle unusual creatures and one creepy alchemist but overall it is a great historical thriller and a great choice for younger readers as well as teens.
