BOOK TALK- THIS DARK ENDEAVOR

By Kenneth Oppel

Sixteen year old Victor Frankenstein will do anything to save his sick twin brother, Konrad, but can he save himself from his own dark thoughts and desires? Elizabeth is a distant cousin who was raised with them as a sister, but now they are older. Which twin will Elizabeth love? Elizabeth, the twins, and good friend Henry discover a hidden library of alchemy and other things, and they are determined to find the ingredients for the Elixer of Life, to save Konrad’s life. They endure great danger to acquire the first two. Then, Victor even gives up two of his fingers for bone marrow to save his brother only to find out the evil alchemist, Polidori was only using the three to get the ingredients so that he could take the Elixir of Life for himself. Can they survive and get the Elixir of Life to Konrad before it’s too late? Will it even work if they do? Read, This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel.
