Beschreibung

<p><b><i>Monstrous</i> is a poignant, award-winning graphic memoir about a Korean-American teen who turns to fandom and art-making to survive racing bullying.</b><br><br>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 struggles to contain her anger in these moments-but through it all, she has her art. A compulsive drawer from childhood, she fills page after page with what she can't say out loud. When she discovers anime, her hobby deepens into obsession, offering escape and identity.<br><br>Though drawing and cosplay give her a way to step outside her reality, connection remains elusive. As she enters high school, the bullying intensifies-louder, meaner, more isolating than ever. Sarah's bottled rage begins to threaten everything she's built to keep herself together.<br><br>What follows is a raw, visually arresting journey through anger, imagination, and survival, as Sarah learns that the same forces that isolate her might also be the key to finding her voice.</p>
