"A joy to read!" -- New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix

Praise for Frances and the Monster: "A captivating tale filled with monsters, marvels, and misadventures, Frances and the Monster is gripping, inventive, and deeply moving. Tuma's middle-grade debut is a harrowing and heartfelt tribute to owning your scars and learning to turn them into stars." -- Alysa Wishingrad, author of The Verdigris Pawn

"This book has twists, turns, and surprises galore...And the ending, holy moly! No spoilers here, but this is the kind of book you'll want to talk about with a friend." -- Ben Gartner, author of The Eye of Ra series

"[Frances'] memorable adventure, with strong echoes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, plays out against a colorful background as she confronts who she is in a truly shocking finale. A fast-paced and remarkably original tale." -- Kirkus Reviews
