This Dark Endeavor

By Kenneth Oppel

     Are you a fan of roller coasters?  If so, you would love this book.  Young Victor Frankenstein and his twin brother Konrad are nigh inseparable, but when Konrad falls ill with a serious condition, that all changes.  Victor sets out to create the fabled "Elixir of Life" with his cousin Elizabeth, and his best friend Henry.  They travel to the tops of titanic trees, and to the depths of the Earth, but Victor's greatest adversaries are his emotions of love, jealousy, and fear.
