An unnamed island in the middle of the ocean hides a huge secret. During the day inhuman screams are heard coming from a house. At night the silence is only broken by stifled rumors that come from the forest. It is said that someone there played God. It is said that something went terribly wrong...
Written at a second- and third-grade level, these hi-lo volumes encourage young adults reading below grade level to enjoy the classics. These retellings of stories from the 1800s forego the period's colloquialisms, while maintaining authenticity through costuming and artifacts. . . .A quality foray into the classics, these are a good choice for libraries serving hi-lo readers, as well as fans of graphic retellings.-- "VOYA"
