    About this series

    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!

      J.D., the fourteen-year-old son of the notorious Frankenstein monster, comes into possession of the original mad scientist's secret journal. Clues lead him to the donor of his dad's right eye: a world famous detective from the 1940s whose grandson is now a detective himself. It's a good thing J.D. has inherited the sleuth's super skills, (along with his pale blue eye), because he also accidentally stumbles into his cousin-detective's most difficult case. And J. D. becomes the prime suspect! Readers will unscramble the pieces of the story through diary entries, mixed media images, and diagrams of mad science. Because if the young Frankenstein can't solve the crime, he'll be locked up for the rest of his strange, unnatural life!
