Marilyn's Monster

Rich with feeling . . . a warm, gently funny reminder to chase down ones dreams, rather than waiting for them to appear on the doorstep. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Some of the kids in Marilyns class have monsters. Marilyn doesnt have hers yet, but she cant just go out and look for one. Your monster has to find you. Thats just the way it works. Marilyn tries to be patient and the kind of girl no monster can resist, but her monster doesnt come. Could she go out and search for him herself? Even if thats not the way it works?
