Young Victor Frankenstein and...

Christopher Allen

Young victor frankenstein and his creations   
Book 6 of 6 – NUTTY BOLTS BIG SURPRISE  VICTORS BIRTHDAY PARTY   
 summary of this SIXTH AND FINAL book in the series is as follows: 
:Victor Frankenstein’s ninth birthday approaches, and Nutty Bolt—Victor’s first, imperfect creation—leads the others in planning a surprise party. As Whirly Gig delivers invitations, Stella Spark decorates with light displays, and Melody Maker composes music, Nutty secretly builds a "Family Portrait Machine" to capture their found family. When Victor accidentally discovers the project, he helps Nutty perfect it, sharing heartfelt memories of creating him. At the party, surrounded by villagers who once feared them, the creations celebrate how far they’ve come. Nutty’s gift—a portrait of their unconventional family—moves Victor to tears. He announces plans to expand the castle, giving each creation their own space and hinting at new additions to their mechanical family. That night, Nutty calls Victor "Father" for the first time, cementing their bond. The story closes with Victor reflecting on how his greatest invention isn’t machinery, but the love they’ve built together.  
The initial opening credit is operatic in style with both male and female vocals paying homage to the late 18th century when victor lived and runs to approximately 3 minutes. The closing music has both an element of classic and current music to add a bit of excitement to the end for the listening children. 
The story and music itself runs to just under 40 MINUTES and is narrated in the voice of claire francis, my wife. 
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
