Department 19: First Edition -- Will Hill

Jamie Carpenter's father is dead, his mother is missing, and he was just rescued by an enormous creature named Frankenstein. Now Jamie is pulled into a secret organization responsible for policing the supernatural, founded more than a century ago by Abraham Van Helsing. . . . Department Nineteen takes us through history, across Europe, and beyond - from the cobbled streets of Victorian London to prohibition-era New York, from the icy wastes of Arctic Russia to the treacherous mountains of Transylvania. Part modern thriller, part classic horror, it's packed with mystery, mayhem, and a level of suspense that makes a Darren Shan novel look like a romantic comedy.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Will Hill<br><b>Publisher:</b> Razorbill<br><b>Published:</b> 02/02/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 544<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.05lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.21h x 5.49w x 1.36d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781595144850<br><b>Age Range:</b> 14-UP<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 22<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>143257 / Department Nineteen<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>William Hill is a former publishing professional who lives in England.
