Why read it?
1 author picked Sawkill Girls as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sawkill Girls is so scary that I couldn’t read it before bed. In fact, I wouldn’t even bring it into my bedroom!

This is one of my top YA novels of all time.
From Erica's list on girls battling monsters.
