Cotugno dazzles readers with their Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde retelling in this contemporary gaslamp fantasy set in 19th century London that’s perfect for ages 12+ and out just in time for Halloween!

The Glass Scientists, follows Dr. Henry Jekyll who is determined to help reshape the nasty public image of his fellow mad scientists, which is why he creates the Society for Arcane Sciences. But Jekyll harbors a creeping suspicion that something inside him is horribly, incurably wrong–and with one sip of a bubbling potion, Dr. Jekyll unleashes Mr. Hyde, the embodiment of all the thoughts and desires he keeps hidden from the world. When a mysterious stranger arrives to take the Society in a new direction, everyone turns against Jekyll. Pretty soon, Jekyll’s life spirals out of control, shattering his carefully laid plans, and threatening to expose his darkest secrets.
