DESCRIPTION:
And, of course, he saves Christmas!. He yearns to be a part of this “Sweet Village,” but the monster in him needs to be tamed. He follows the reindeer and stumbles upon the North Pole, home of Santa Claus. "Frankenstein Meets Santa" takes up the story from there. In his torment, the monster collapses onto the icy ground to die, but is roused decades later by a flying reindeer. Only Santa Claus can redeem Frankenstein, with the help of Mrs. Working through his defects and violent tendencies, learning a meaningful trade from two elves, and accepting the lovingkindness of Santa himself, Frankenstein is finally able to put his monstrous self aside and find healing and hope, and the very things he was always seeking – a home and a family. At the end of Mary Shelley’s "Frankenstein," the Creature disappears into the arctic wasteland to die. Claus and the elves
Four Stars JW Appel An unexpectedly mature take on a rather lighthearted idea.. Ann Anderson Evans said This book should be a classicbut it just came out. Before I read FRANKENSTEIN MEETS SANTA I was not sure how elves talk with each other, but now I know.One of my favorite sparks of imagination is naming all the elves who work in a certain part of the North Pole after candies: Gum, Jawbreaker, Taffy, Ginger, Candy Apple. What candy would you be? I would be either an after dinner mint or an M&M.Those glimmers of fun are trivial in comparison to the real import of this engrossing, delightful book – as enjoyable to me, Granna, as it will be to my grandchildren.The Christmas story is told not as a sterile &. "then gift it to your young loved ones. It's an open door for discussions that" according to Kenneth Newton. Attention Grandparents! This book travels across the ages in several ways, with a story line of universal appeal. Read it; then gift it to your young loved ones. It's an open door for discussions that range from scientific (global warming, electronics) to deeply human needs. It acknowledges the grief process as an essential way to mature; among other ways that mirror Hercules' Labors, Maslow's hierarchy and Campbell's mythic hero's journey, for instance. Mostly, I was heartened to witness the healing that happened damaged people rescued by love
