About this item
A story steeped in magical realism about love, fear, and the thrill of discovering who we were born to be, The Last Monster is a story about making peace with our insecurities and defending those who must hide what they really are. Sofia has never felt special. Not at school, or with her track team, and especially not since she's become sick. She's always been different, but this doesn't make her stand out . . . it's makes her invisible. Then something special lands right in Sofia's lap. An ancient book that serves as a portal for the Greek philosopher, Xeno, one of Aristotle's lost students. Sofia has been chosen to be the next Guardian. Suddenly Sofia is not only trying to survive middle-school cliques and first crushes, she's in charge of protecting grotesquely beautiful, lonely monsters that have roamed the Earth for centuries.
About the Author
Hi friends,
I'm a novelist, rescuer of wayward dogs, and a lover of stories. I got my start in publishing by writing for the inspirational market but I was always working toward my ultimate dream, which was to write for young readers. I am so thrilled to finally be doing that. Look for THE LAST MONSTER from Delacorte/Random House to go on sale April 16, 2016.
On any given day, you'll find me reading, writing, baking gluten-free goodies, and hanging out with my three kids and hubby. Thanks for taking a moment to check out my profile.
