Frankenkitty

#1 New York Times best seller! 

Frankenstein meets the Addams Family in this lively, laugh-out-loud Halloween picture book full of playful twists on all your favorite classic horror tropes!

"A top-grade creepy/funny addition to the spooky-picture-book canon." -- Kirkus Reviews

Packed with hilariously dramatic narration and freakishly fun art, this gothic tale with a twist is perfect for kids ages 3-7 who love spooky season story time!

Meet Frankenkitty--a stitched-together kitten with a haunted castle for a home and a reputation that seems to terrify everyone...even his own inventor! Only Olive, the inventor's brave young daughter, sees the sweet side of this misunderstood kitty.

But when terrible things start to happen at the castle--like mice invading the kitchen, frogs appearing in the bathtub, and Brussels sprouts showing up on the dinner menu--poor Frankenkitty gets the blame and is banished from the castle into the snow. Will Olive be able to rescue the poor kitten before it's too late?

This spooky-but-fun story is perfect for kids who love their monsters cute and their bedtime stories dramatic!

Maudie Powell-Tuck has been writing, editing, and dreaming about picture books for more than 12 years. She has worked in a children's bookstore and as an editor for a children's publisher, so she can enthuse about kids' books 'til the cows come home. When not writing or editing, Maudie can be found wandering around charity shops with her kids, reading, and watching embarrassingly trashy reality TV. She is forever losing her hearing aids and has dropped her phone 1,345,566 times. Miraculously it still works.

Born in a mini car in a parking lot in South Wales, Mini Grey worked as a theater designer, then a primary school teacher, before beginning to make children's picture books, some of which have won awards. Mini lives in Oxford, UK, with her partner, Tony, and son, Herbie. She likes running along the river and down hallways, and playing with her food.
