Frankenstein's Matzah
A Passover Parody
In this Passover picture book parody of Frankenstein, Vee, Victor Frankenstein’s great, great, great Jewish non-binary grand-descendant, wants to win the school science fair and become the world’s greatest scientist.
When Vee’s experiment succeeds, zany chaos ensues, and Vee is left to wrestle with some Frankenstein-size ethical dilemmas. Watch Vee take center stage in this exciting science fiction Passover adventure!
A graphic picture book told entirely through comic bubbles, Frankenstein’s Matzah invites young readers to join in the joy of Passover (and science!) by conducting their own Super Seder Science experiments.

Reviews
Sydney Taylor Shmooze
“Frankenstein’s Matzah is a wacky, entertaining, very colorful graphic picture book. It combines diversity (a non-binary main character) with a Jewish holiday (a Passover seder), STEM (science experiments and back matter about the scientific method), Yiddish puns, and some moral questions for main character, Vee.”—Sydney Taylor Shmooze
JTA (Global News Service of the Jewish People)
“This zany Passover caper…encourages kids to ask questions and amplifies the Jewish value of welcoming guests.”—Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Bookishly Jewish
“It’s nice to see STEM in books for younger readers, especially graphic novels, and there are several fun seder science experiments included . . . . [A] good read in preparation for Passover or your local science fair, but I’d encourage parents to ask their young readers to explore the ethical side of the situation with them in an age-appropriate level. . . . The book is obviously fun, but it can also be a catalyst for family discussion.”—Bookishly Jewish
