Product Description
Frankie isn't exactly sure what her scientist dad does in his top-secret laboratory, but her neighbors tease her that it must be something awful -- like developing germ warfare. So when Frankie's older brother steals a bit of mysterious goo from their father's lab, she makes sure she gets some to conduct her own experiment. But Frankie never could have anticipated the results...

Wonderful find!, 2007-02-05
Although I am avid reader of children's literature (both to myself and my children!) I had never seen or heard of this book until a few weeks ago. I just finished reading it to my 9 year old and we both loved the story about a girl and the monster she inadvertently creates. It's really a story about friendship and love, but has plenty of suspense to keep kids interested. It's a British novel and so it also led to some discussion about British English and customs (for example, I had to explain that "mad" meant crazy and not angry, and the concept of "tea"). It's a lovely story, with some elements of "gross" that will make the book appeal to boys and girls alike.

It is a very interesting and detailed story I give it five out of 10 stars.

This story is about a lonley girl, who try's to make a friend, a sibling- A MONSTER? Vivien Alock writes about a girl who wants to prove to her father that she loves him, and more than anything she wants him to love her. One day she makes an absured deal with her brother, for a little bit of the substance he got from his dad's laboratory, the only problem is the monster is growing fast, very fast. He starts living in a hutch, but when he escapes from the hutch, everyone knows he cant stay a secret for long. The monster garden is a very injoyable book especially for young readers.
