NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • STONEWALL BOOK AWARD WINNER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR by The New York Times • Time • Buzzfeed • NPR • New York Public Library • Publishers Weekly • School Library Journal

A genre-defying novel from the award-winning author NPR describes as “like [Madeline] L’Engle…glorious.” A singular book that explores themes of identity and justice. Pet is here to hunt a monster. Are you brave enough to look?

"[A] beautiful, genre-expanding debut" --The New York Times

There are no monsters anymore, or so the children in the city of Lucille are taught. Jam and her best friend, Redemption, have grown up with this lesson all their life. But when Jam meets Pet, a creature made of horns and colors and claws, who emerges from one of her mother's paintings and a drop of Jam's blood, she must reconsider what she's been told. Pet has come to hunt a monster, and the shadow of something grim lurks in Redemption's house. Jam must fight not only to protect her best friend, but also to uncover the truth, and the answer to the question--How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist?

A riveting and timely young adult debut novel that asks difficult questions about what choices you can make when the society around you is in denial.

HOLY SHIT! one of the best books ever written. This needs to be talked about in schools. My no. 1 recommendation for everyone.

Youth book but done well.

I very much enjoyed the subtle representation of the Utopian world, the way the characters were morally coded and the positive example this novel sets in terms of engaging with the unknown. The lgbtq* representation in this book was also very lovely. I'd read it again :)

"Good and innocent, they not the same thing; they don't wear the same face." Eine Stadt in der Monster lange der Vergangenheit angehören muss sich fragen, ob sie wirklich so sicher ist wie angenommen. Eine grandiose Geschichte die hochaktuell und hochpolitisch ist, die zwingt uns zu hinterfragen wie wir mit den Monstern unserer Gesellschaft verfahren.
