Summary
Carnegie Medal winning author Tanya Landman delivers an eerily captivating and accessible retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Gothic novel of murder and monstrosity.
Evil Mr Hyde stalks London's streets, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
Good Dr Hyde keeps protecting him.
Why? Is Hyde blackmailing Jekyll for some shameful past sin? Or is something stranger and more sinister going on?
Respected scientist Dr Henry Jekyll is fascinated by the human capacity for evil. But his experimentation into the darker side of his own character has horrific and dangerous results.
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Gothic masterpiece continues to fascinate readers 140 years after its first publication, and it is now made accessible to an even wider audience in this compelling retelling by award-winning author Tanya Landman.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 9.

"It’s no surprise that Stevenson’s atmospheric horror story – with its sinister portrayal of our capacity for evil and the questions it raises about morality, duality and human nature – still thrills and chills readers. And now Landman’s eerily captivating retelling – produced in an accessible format – means that that more readers can understand and revel in this perennial classic." – Wigan Today
