Even in a Utopia, the monsters have an ability to hide in plain sight. This is one of the best YA novels I have read. Set in post-progressive times, a young trans girl must help a mysterious beast that emerged from one of her mother's paintings hunt and destroy the monster that is hiding in their peaceful city. It's a story of love, trust, and courage to fight for what is right.
