Review

Did you know that monsters are real? Socrates taught us about them. One of his disciples wrote a book about them. Sofia has cancer. She has lost a leg and is getting her new looks like her other leg today. Today she was also given the book that makes her caretaker of the monsters. Her job is to keep them alive. Why do we need monsters? When humans fought monsters they did not fight against each other. Now there is war because most of the monsters have disappeared. Sofia was just a normal high school girl until cancer, and the book. She learns about herself in this coming of age/ monster book.

Overall Book Score: excellent
