Reach for this book when your teenager feels like they are performing a role rather than living their own life, or when they are struggling to understand the hidden burdens others carry. It is a powerful choice for opening a dialogue about the masks we wear to fit in and the empathy required to truly see the people around us. In this dark fantasy, a literal monster kills a human boy and takes his place, only to find that the boy's life was filled with more pain, secrets, and complexity than he ever imagined. The story explores identity, shame, and the discovery that being human is far more difficult than being a creature of myth. It is best suited for older teens due to its mature themes and darker tone, offering a unique perspective on the value of human connection and the weight of personal responsibility.
