Frankie dreams of being anyone or anything other than plain old Frankie. But is he really all that plain? Children's book author D.K. Brantley has created a delightfully-and frightfully!-fun read-aloud featuring a unique portrayal of a familiar monstrous family with Plain Old Frankie. In this whimsical treat, perfect for the Halloween season and all year 'round, young Frankie awakes in his bed wistfully imagining himself as exciting beasts such as a werewolf or a vampire, instead of being his ordinary self. "I could be a werewolf, howling at the moon . . . or a mummy, mending my worn bandages." Readers will delight to discover that Frankie's "plain old family" includes his parents who are none other than Frankenstein and his eccentric bride and they'll cheer as Frankie realizes that being a part of his family is "plain old great."
