The award-winning, genre-defying novel by the New York Times bestselling author of THE DEATH OF VIVEK OJI that explores themes of identity and justice and asks: How do you share the truth when the world around you is in denial? Pet is here to hunt a monster. Are you brave enough to look? There are no monsters anymore, or so the children in Lucille are taught. Jam and her best friend, Redemption, have grown up with the lesson that the city is safe for everyone. But when Jam meets Pet, a creature who some might call monstrous but, in reality, is anything but, she must reconsider what she's been told. Pet has emerged from one of her mother's paintings to hunt a true monster--and the shadow of something grim lurks in Redemption's house. No one has encountered monsters in years, though, and Jam's quest to protect her best friend and uncover the truth is met with doubt and disbelief. This award-winning novel from a rising-star author asks: What really makes a monster, and how do you save the world from something if no one will admit it exists?

Holy Grail of Baby Socks
Love, love, love these socks. As anyone who has ever been around a baby knows, their socks are always falling off! These are the only ones I've found to stay on so they are well worth the price as you aren't constantly losing them and having to buy more. I've already bought 2 sets and will probably buy one more and more again when he sizes up. Right now my son is 2 months old, wearing 6 month clothes, and they still fit him well.

Fits a bit short and narrow. Received one sock that had a hole.
Great socks for babies with narrow feet. However, the length is on the small side. I wish that I would have ordered the larger size (my baby is 8 months old and in the 86th % wearing the 6-12 month socks).
One sock in the set has a hole at the bottom of the foot. Sadly I washed them before putting them on my baby so now it's too late to return them. I'd suggest carefully examining each sock before washing/using them to look for defects.
The fabric is far better than the socks sold at Sprawl-Mart and they stay on better as well.
Final verdict - I won't be ordering these online again since it is difficult for me to do returns even if I had noticed the defect before washing them. They are a very good design so I will look for some in stores to purchase.

Good quality, affordable pricing.
Great socks. Just right thickness. Light and breathable. My five yr old loves them for summer. Also great when shoes are getting snug with thicker socks.

So cute and cozy!
These are adorable boots for a new walker. My 12 month old walks with ease without slipping. The insides are fully lined with the soft fur you see at the top, so warm.
