The Body Snatcher

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Overview

Scotland, 1815. Fettes, a young medical student, is learning more than he ever wanted to know about corpses. He is shocked to realize that the corpses they are using in class are not donated, but rather stolen from fresh graves—and now he must get himself a new one. Fettes thinks he's up to this terrifying task, but he can't anticipate what will happen that night—or the body that will haunt him for the rest of his life. Adapted from the short story by Robert Louis Stevenson, this easy-to-read, edge-of-your-seat version will grab reluctant readers who expect a good scare!
