En la ciudad de Lucille ya no queda ningún monstruo, o eso les enseñan a los niños. Jam ha crecido con esta lección. Pero cuando conoce a Mascota, una criatura hecha de cuernos y colores y garras que surge de uno de los cuadros de su madre y de una gota de sangre, la joven deberá reconsiderar todas sus creencias, porque Mascota ha venido a cazar un monstruo. Jam deberá luchar para proteger a sus seres queridos y descubrir la verdad, pero ¿cómo vas a salvar el mundo de los monstruos si nadie reconoce que existen?
«Mascota», de le escritore nigeriane Akwaeke Emezi, es una novela poética que mezcla la ciencia ficción con la fantasía para hablar sobre quiénes son los verdaderos monstruos en una sociedad aparentemente utópica.

Work Description
There are no monsters anymore, or so the children in the city of Lucille are taught. Jam and her best friend, Redemption, have grown up with this lesson all their life. But when Jam meets Pet, a creature made of horns and colors and claws, who emerges from one of her mother's paintings and a drop of Jam's blood, she must reconsider what she's been told. Pet has come to hunt a monster, and the shadow of something grim lurks in Redemption's house. Jam must fight not only to protect her best friend, but also to uncover the truth, and the answer to the question*--How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist?
Acclaimed novelist Akwaeke Emezi makes their riveting and timely young adult debut with a book that asks difficult questions about what choices you can make when the society around you is in denial.
