Cat's Cradle: The Golden Twine

Jo Rioux, the illustrator of M. T. Anderson's highly acclaimed The Daughters of Ys, makes her debut as a writer-illustrator in this fantasy-adventure graphic novel trilogy. The story follows Suri, an orphan street-urchin who loves monsters and travels with a merchant camp. Her passion for studying their lore, telling stories about them, and hoping to tame them one day goes unnoticed, until a mysterious new wagon with something monstrous arrives at the camp. Suri's self-confidence, cleverness, and ambition are put to the test as she faces a treacherous family with their own beastly secret and a prince hunting the greatest monster of all.
