“Dass’ masterful tale of friendship and self-discovery takes readers on an emotional roller coaster that’s steeped in Caribbean folklore. The strong pacing and well-developed relationships among the protagonists will keep the pages turning even as secrets and dangers come to light. A gripping, heart-wrenching story about friendship, family, fear, and the monsters we carry with us.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Stories Rooted in the Caribbean
I am from Trinidad and Tobago. Storytelling is a huge part of our culture. The Caribbean in general has a complicated history, and from it was born stories of fantastical folklore creatures that have been fascinating and scaring people for generations. I feel honored to be a part of this storytelling tradition.
