"If
you see a beast, and you have the shot, don't hesitate. Kill it."
For seventeen years, fees
have lived separate from beasts. The division of the sexes has kept their world
peaceful. Glori Rhodes is like most other fees her age. She adores her
neighborhood's abandoned Costco, can bench her body weight, and she knew
twenty-seven beast counter attack moves by the time she was seven. She has
never questioned the separation of the sexes or the rules that keep her
post-nuclear hometown safe. But when her mother secretly gives birth to a baby
beast, Glori grows to love the child and can't help wondering: What really is
the difference between us and them?
When her brother, at the
age of five, is snatched in a vicious raid, Glori and her best friend, Su, do
the unthinkable - covertly infiltrate the City of Beasts to get him back.
What's meant to be a smash-and-grab job quickly becomes the adventure of a
lifetime as the fees team up with a fast-talking, T-shirt cannon wielding beast
named Sway, and Glori starts to see that there's more to males, and her own
history, than she's been taught. Glori, Sway, and a motley cohort of friends
will go to the ends of the earth to find her little brother. And maybe save
their divided world while they're at it.

About Corrie:
Corrie Wang is passionate about
libraries, recycling, and eating all the food, everywhere. Corrie grew up in
Buffalo but spent her formative years in Brooklyn, where one of her last paying
gigs was managing a three-story nightclub on the Lower East Side.
Writing to fix things that make her angry and explore things that
frighten her, Corrie’s novels are about girls unapologetically conquering
scenarios they should have little control over. Tired of seeing women and girls
lose in this culture - spoiler - they never do in her stories.
Her debut novel, The Takedown was chosen as one of the
best books of 2017 by the New York Public Library and a 2018 YALSA selection
for Best Fiction for Young Adults. City of Beasts is her second novel.
Seeing, as Corrie wrote an entire novel about the freakiness
and perils of socializing too much on the internets her existence there is
haphazard at best. Now, more than ever, she feels it is time for everyone
to look up. (Also stand up, step up, and eat up.
AND P.S. Wang rhymes with 'song' y'all.
