Frankie Stein gets ready to start school. But as a normal looking kid, will he be able to fit in at Miss Wart's Academy for Ghouls & Goblins?

At the risk of sounding harsh, I did not care for this story. The artwork has some charming elements but doesn't quite flow to me. I also think the font is comic sans. I also sort of hate the idea that Frankie has to prove that he is scary instead of being accepted for who he seems to want to be.

I do think that kids in K - 2 will really like this story...more

This book discusses a little boy's experience at his first day of school, where he is surrounded by creatures that look nothing like him. He feels left out and different than everyone else.

This book would be good for kindergarten/first graders to help them cope with their experiences of their first day of school. The silly pictures also would be great for this age. I would read this to students at the beginning of the school year around Halloween to help explain to them that it's okay if you're...more

Remember Marilyn, the blond, normal seeming niece on "The Munsters"?
Well here's blond haired, normal seeming Frankie Stein, who look to be descendants of Herman and Lily Munster. And when he goes to school, he's of course the victim of reverse discrimination by the students of Miss Wart's Academy for Ghouls and Goblins. But Frankie has a trick or two up his sleeve...
Kids will also enjoy "Frankie Stein", the first book about this monstrous young man.

We really liked this book! Poor Frankie is different from the rest of the kids at Monster School and even his own family....but he manages to win them all over in the end just by being who he is. Very fun book! My four year old really liked it!

Frankie Stein, with his pretty face in monsterland, gets the same reaction from schoolmates as he does from his family. Adjusting to school takes a little time and Frankie comes out okay.

Cute book for beginning of school and fitting in at new school. Frankie is
not scary like his parents and the kids in his class, but he shows them he can
fit it just fine.

Good, but not as funny (to me) as the original Frankie Stein.
