Pet

In a city where children are taught that monsters no longer exist, Jam's world is turned upside down when she encounters Pet, a vibrant creature emerging from her mother's painting and her own blood. As Pet sets out to hunt a real monster, Jam must navigate the truths hidden beneath her upbringing and confront the reality lurking in her friend's home. This young adult debut by Akwaeke Emezi explores themes of truth, innocence, and the difficult choices faced by young people in a world of denial.
