Based on Tim Burton's latest animated film, Frankenweenie: A Novel recounts the heart-warming tale of a boy and his (dead) dog in full. The story follows Victor, a clever, quiet, scientifically minded boy, who lives in the Burbank-esque town of New Holland. Victor's only friend is his dog, Sparky, who dies when he is hit by a car, but is reanimated by Victor. Children who enjoyed the film, will love to read more about Victor and his pet dog who is brought back to life.
