Reach for this book when your teenager feels like a misfit who is hiding their true self behind a screen or struggling with the pressure of a complicated family legacy. This modern reimagining of the Frankenstein myth follows Boy, a seventeen-year-old created from various parts, as he leaves his secret home beneath Times Square to discover the world. It is a story about the universal teenage desire for independence and the terrifying, beautiful process of defining one's own identity outside of parental expectations. While the premise is fantastical, the emotional core deals with body image, social anxiety, and the search for genuine connection in a digital age. It is appropriate for mid to late teens who enjoy dark humor and road trip adventures with a touch of romance.
