Why read it?

1 author picked Nell & the Netherbeast as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Adi is a friend and a terrific author. On top of being very funny, her books have a deeper way of connecting with the reader. She is masterful at plot development and creating authentic voices for each of her characters.

This book is a funny, supernatural jaunt with over-the-top villains, vengeful ghosts, useless adults, and a cat who is very clearly not actually a cat.

It’s an enjoyable read that kept me reading “Just one more chapter…” before shutting off the light and going to sleep.
