"Monstrously magical and delicious!"-William Alexander, National Book Award Winner for Goblin Secrets 
 
"A heartfelt tale of meeting your monsters and setting them free." -Linda Urban, acclaimed author of A Crooked Kind of Perfect 
 
On the edge of town, a boy named Dawz lives with his sister and their uncle-turned-adoptive-father, Pop. No one in their ramshackle house knows that a monster-who is smaller than a bear cub-lives in Dawz's bedroom closet. She calls herself Mim. 
 
When a series of events forces Mim to leave her closet, she sets out on a quest to unlock the magic of books, but will Dawz be willing to help her? 
 
The story of a monster who desperately wants to be seen and the reluctant boy who wishes he weren't the only one who could, this exploration of found family, fear and mental health, and intergenerational trauma begs the question: What if the monsters that haunt us aren't monsters at all?
