If you haven’t read it add it to the top of your list, I doubt you’ll regret it. Pet reminds me a little of another classic YA novel with great characters, plot, and writingAND a sense of humor: Madeleine LEngles A Wrinkle in Time. Have you read Pet? Did you enjoy it…let’s gush together about it. Reading the paperback was like reliving my childhood, because the smell of the pages, took me back to happier times in my early reading years. Jam and Redemptions families are so precious, the story within the pages of Pet is a marvellous one, one that covers so many important themes, handled with the right kind of care, one that makes you want to be good and be your neighbour’s keeper. I loved how Pet is a book about monsters because the thing about monsters is they look like me or you.
