Sinopsis
Beneath the streets of bustling New York City lies a hidden enclave of monsters that live in secrecy and safety—until Frankenstein’s sixteen-year-old son hacks his way to the surface for an unforgettable road trip with Jekyll and Hyde’s granddaughters.
“Man Made Boy is monstrously fun.”—John Corey Whaley, winner of the Michael L. Printz Award for Where Things Come Back
“A remarkable mash-up of Old World myth and post-modern techno-geek.”—Andrea Cremer, bestselling author of the Nightshade series
Love can be a real monster.
Seventeen-year-old Boy has never left home. When you’re the son of Frankenstein’s Monster and the Bride, it’s tough to go out in public, unless you want to draw the attention of a torch-wielding mob. And since Boy and his family live in a secret enclave of monsters hidden under Times Square, it’s important they maintain a low profile.
Boy’s only interactions with the world are through the Internet, where he’s a hacker extraordinaire who can hide his hulking body and stitched-together face behind a layer of code. When conflict erupts at home, Boy runs away and embarks on a cross-country road trip with the granddaughters of Jekyll and Hyde, who introduce him to malls and diners, love and heartbreak. But no matter how far Boy runs, he can’t escape his demons—both literal and figurative—until he faces his family once more.
