BOOKWORMS CLUB: "Frankenstein" and Emma Pedreira

The Bookworms Club has got a new challenge: to read the adaptation of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelly, a well-known novel about a creature who was created by a scientist. But don´t expect a horror story, although it can provoke tension and suspense in certain parts. Emma Pedreira, a Galician writer, loves it so much that she has written a novel, "Os corpos invisibles", as a homage, and she did it so well that she received a prize for it (Premio Jules Verne de Literatura Xuvenil 2019). She came to our school library yesterday and shared with us her passion for British literature. She was accompanied by Lady Stoner and her "Blue and old suitcase full of rare and charming books".  It was like a treasure! We could see a reproduction of a Victorian and an Edwardian house in a book, a book-hamburger, some postcard-books, poems in a scarf, a tiny Coran, a fortune teller fish, a fan-book... We couldn´t believe our eyes!!! It was a magical afternoon full of surprises and books!!! 

Now it is our turn: "Frankenstein" is waiting for us... the same as Lilí, our local librarian, who has prepared a bunch of resources related to this topic. Go and visit her!
