Notes

360 pages Summary: Dr. Moreau's daughter, sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau, has built a life for herself in London, working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. No one had ever proved the rumours about her father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true and she travels to the island, where she discovers the depths of her father's madness. He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it is too late. (Publisher)
