(Note to readers: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a great story, but the novel leaves a lot
to be desired plot-wise and, truthfully, has too many big words. Everyone knows
something about the story; this quiz gets kids to buy in to the original text by dispelling a
few myths. For answers, go back to Resources. No peeking! -- Georgia)
