Pet by Akwaeke Emezi
Hi, my name is Duncan. I love to Nordic and alpine ski in the winter and like to bike, hike, and camp in the summer.
I loved Pet because it is a story that I would not usually read. This book was written by Akwaeke Emezi in 2019 and is a fantasy. The main character’s names are Pet, Redemption, and Jam. Pet is a mysterious creature that came from a painting to help them save Redemption’s little brother. Redemption is one of Jam’s friends who doesn’t know that his brother is in severe danger until it is almost too late. And Jam is the girl who summoned Pet.
Another reason I would recommend this book is that it is definitely not real but has a touch of real life added to it. Something interesting about this book is that they are trying to save Redemption’s brother. Jam and Redemption are trying to save Redemption’s brother and they are working with a creature from another planet named Pet. One thing that is quite remarkable about Pet is that Pet can only be seen by people who have met him. Also, Pet can choose who meets him because he can choose if he wants someone to see him or not. One thing about Pet that I did not like was it was quite hard to follow.
This book was set in Lucille. In Lucille, all the children were told that all the monsters were gone and that everyone was safe but that was not true. If this book was set on the earth then it would be set in the present time. An award that Pet won was New York Times best book of the year
