And growing . . . Caitlin will have to convince the adults around her—and Perijee himself—that the creature they see as a terrifying monster is anything but.Praise: ';Montgomery engages us with . . . high drama, hurtling towards a heartwarming resolution.' —The Sunday Times (London)From the Hardcover edition.
