by Catherine Yu
This is a fun bit of speculative fiction: a retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. A scientist creates a superhuman teenage daughter to be his perfect lab assistant. But she turns out to be her own person, who soon discovers rock music, the night market and cute boys. Causing havoc around town, she struggles to balance her craving for affection with a developing conscience. How far will she go to get her soulmate, and are there people who can accept her just the way she is?
