"A beautiful, courageous book."

Five Starred Reviews and a Finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize
Monstrous is a poignant, award-winning graphic memoir about a Korean-American teen who uses fandom and art-making to overcome racist bullying.
Sarah has always struggled to fit in. Born in South Korea and adopted at birth by a white couple, she grows up in a rural community with few Asian neighbors. People whisper in the supermarket. Classmates bully her. She has trouble containing her anger in these moments--but through it all, she has her art. She's always been a compulsive drawer, and when she discovers anime, her hobby becomes an obsession.
Though drawing and cosplay offer her an escape, she still struggles to connect with others. And in high school, the bullies are louder and meaner. Sarah's bubbling rage is threatening to burst.
