This strange but short tale is a good reminder of what happens if one would become part of the experiment one is conducting. Dr. Jekyll is a workaholic who experiments on himself and experiences what it would be like to be someone very unlike himself. As the story continues, Dr. Jekyll finds himself being less who he once was and becoming like himself in a totally different way. Wonderfully written, the reader can easily become wrapped up in every turn.
The reading in this story is not too difficult but in dealing with some of the subject matter, I would say someone in 6th grade could possibly read this book if accompanied by a trusted adult. There are some tense scenes that could cause strange dreams but for me, the odd dreams were worth it!
