You can only cry so much until your life is wept away. -MarcyKate Connolly, Monstrous

Review

Monstrous by MarcyKate is a very great book for middle grade readers. I really got into the story and found myself being carried away into its pages. The only thing is for a while I was very frustrated with Ren because he only thought about himself. But when the story ended I was like “Noooooooooo!” But there is a second book in the Monstrous series…

This book is about a girl named Kymera who has to stay hidden in the forest because she is part monster. For her own safety she is only allowed to go outside at night. So a very interesting concept, right?

It is an amazing book that I would recommend to all middle grade readers ages 10 to 12.
