When a traveling circus comes to his village, the young Otto goes, intrigued by the promise of a terrifying beast, a real Monster! But under the circus tent, when the curtain rises, everyone is surprised–the audience and reader alike. The monster is a young human and Otto is a little furry "monstrous" creature!
Halfway between a graphic novel and an illustrated novel, an uncategorizable book of dazzling poetry that reminds us that we are all someone’s monster.
