A story steeped in magical realism about love, fear, and the thrill of discovering who we were born to be, The Last Monster is a story about making peace with our insecurities and defending those who must hide what they really are. Sofia has never felt special. Not at school, or with her track team, and especially not since sheโs become sick. Sheโs always been different, but this doesn't make her stand out . . . it's makes her invisible. Then something special lands right in Sofiaโs lap. An ancient book that serves as a portal for the Greek philosopher, Xeno, one of Aristotleโs lost students. Sofia has been chosen to be the next Guardian. Suddenly Sofia is not only trying to survive middle- school cliques and first crushes, sheโs in charge of protecting grotesquely beautiful, lonely monsters that have roamed the Earth for centuries. Drawn into Xenoโs violent and unpredictable world of mystery, Sofia learns that loving outsiders has a price.
