| book description |

A 2021 YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens pick. When angsty teenager Mary Shelley is not interested in carrying on her familyâ€™s celebrated legacy of being a great writer, but she soon discovers that she has the not-so-celebrated and super-secret Shelley power to heal monsters, just like her famous ancestor, and those monsters are not going to let her ignore her true calling anytime soon. Everyone expects sixteen-year-old Mary to be a great writer. After all, her mother, her aunt, and her grandmother are all successful writers (as they constantly remind her)â€”not to mention her famous namesake, the OG Mary Shelley, horror author extraordinaire. But Mary is pretty sure sheâ€™s not cut out for that life. She canâ€™t even stay awake in class! Then one dark and rainy night, sheâ€™s confronted with a whole new destiny. Mary has the ability to heal monstersâ€¦ and theyâ€™re not going to leave her alone until she does. With the help of a mysterious (and mysteriously cute) stranger, a Harpy, a possessed stuffed bunny, and her BFF Rhonda, Mary must uncover her familyâ€™s darkest secret if sheâ€™s going to save the monster worldâ€¦ and herself.
