Boy (Man Made Boy), son of Frankenstein's monster, leads a ragtag force of fellow monsters and their progeny against Dr. Moreau, who has been secretly creating an animal army to bring about a new world order. Skovron's richly created underworld of monsters-with-heart remains compelling during the over-the-top battle against Moreau.

Boy, the son of Frankenstein's monster, lives at a Broadway theater with the cast and crew of "The Show." Restless, Boy runs away, then tries to evade an out-of-control computer virus he created. Eventually he must face his creation to destroy it. Readers will willingly suspend disbelief for this creative sci-fi/action/road-trip/coming-of-age story that includes a colorful cast of mythical characters.

Jael Thompson is half-demon on her mother's side. She and her father, a former priest, have been on the run from demons since she was eight. Jael's sixteenth birthday brings her powers and destiny; she decides to fight against evil, training with her uncle.

YA
All Sammy wants to do is play guitar; unfortunately, with his band there's more drama than there is music. Plus, he starts dating his best friend and must cope with his grandpa's deterioration. Sammy's voice isn't always convincing, but his passion (each chapter title is one of his favorite songs) comes across loud and clear.
