J.D. is the fourteen-year-old son of the notorious monster of
Frankenstein, on a quest to find his family . . . the donors of his
dad's parts. In New York City J.D. discovers a cousin, Bertie, who is
extremely rich and likes sitting on his butt and doing nothing all day.
Speaking of butts, that's how J.D. is related to Bertie - through
Frankenstein's monster's butt! Now Bertie is in danger. Fran is
desperate to get her hands on a cousin and has enlisted the help of the
Werewolf and the Invisible Man! But can J.D. convince the slacker Bertie
that he really is related to an adventurer like J.D. and that the threat
is genuine? Readers will be swept up in the story's use of maps, diary
entries, and mixed media images as J.D. and Bertie go on the run through
the streets of the Big Apple.
