"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.

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.
