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.
