This was everything that I was hoping for from this type of book, it uses the concept perfectly and enjoyed the world that was created from Sarah J. Mendonca. The characters were everything that I was hoping for and enjoyed the way they worked with this world. I loved the supernatural element and how it worked with this storyline. It left me wanting to read more from Sarah J. Mendonca.

The cutest middle grade fantasy! I would have been obsessed with this book back in middle school. It’s the perfect mix of a dark & magical heist intertwined with the author’s Portuguese heritage. Also that cliff hanger at the end was awesome!
I’m only knocking off a star because some of the world building needs to be refined. I think a guide at the beginning of the book listing each monstro, and what a keeper vs trapper does, etc would be beneficial to the reader.
