Post Body

Monte Cristo for Kids??? Is that even possible? Surprisingly, it is. The Reading group (different subreddit) just spent a year reading a complete, unabridged Monte Cristo (Robin Buss translation). Maybe you might know, or have a few kiddos, and you're eager to share our favorite book with them, but they're not ready for Robin Buss.

We know it's an incredibly complex story, with a multitude of characters and constantly interweaving subplots. Is there a version that kids can enjoy and still get the gist of the story? Something that's not utterly toothless and still has (some of) the murders?
