"Highly recommended... Perfect for readers of Wonder and Erin Entrada Kelly's Hello, Universe." Booklist magazine, starred review Etan has stopped speaking since his mother left. His father and grandfather dont know how to help him. His friends have given up on him. When Etan is asked to deliver a grocery order to the outskirts of town, he realizes hes at the home of Malia Agbayani, also known as the Creature. Malia stopped going to school when her acute eczema spread to her face, and the bullying became too much. As the two become friends, other kids tease Etan for knowing the Creature. But he believes he might have a cure for Malias condition, if only he can convince his family and hers to believe it too. Even if it works, will these two outcasts find where they fit in?
For MG - a beautiful story of two outcasts who become friends… Etan stopped speaking when his mom left. Malia is virtually a shut-in; she has a chronic skin problem-other kids call her The Creature 😢
