Description
In a world where poverty and cruelty are treated as inevitabilities, a young girl named Lizzie makes a desperate bargain with a mysterious monster who promises to help her survive. As their uneasy partnership deepens, Lizzie is pulled into a haunting journey that tests what loyalty, courage, and compassion really cost. Blending fairy-tale wonder with sharp social insight, the story explores themes of found family, moral responsibility, and the ways power can be both monstrous and human. With Jonathan Auxier’s lyrical, emotionally resonant storytelling, this is a suspenseful, tender adventure that lingers long after the last page.
