I liked that this book was about more than a creature seeking out children. Daka Hermon entwined frienship, grief, community, and facing fears into the story. Those themes made the novel more interesting and enjoyable.
Moderate: Grief, Death of parent, and Cancer

I did really enjoy Justin's use of learned therapeutic techniques to control his panic attacks. As an anxiety sufferer, it felt very true to life. Kind of wish a bit more detail had shown up so kids could learn them early - it would have helped me!
