A girl who has spent her life in disguise tackles a mission that uncovers lies and surprises around every corner. Nothing is as it seems in the next cozily creepy monster mystery from acclaimed author Shaun David Hutchinson.

Sam Osborne may have helped her new friend Hector Griggs save St. Lawrence's Catholic School for Boys from a terrifying monster, but she is still trying to prove herself as a member of Kairos, the secretive and shadowy government agency devoted to investigating the strange and unusual. Her unique ability to control how others see her makes her the perfect agent... if she can learn to play by Kairos' rules.

Her next mission? Use her powers of disguise to infiltrate the family of a former agent to find top-secret information about monsters hiding in plain sight. But even though Sam is well-versed in deception, she may not be prepared for the web of secrets she uncovers. Especially since she may not be the only one pretending to be someoneβ€”or somethingβ€”she's not. And once the clues are unravelled and the truth is revealed, the monsters she's searching for might just be closer to home...

Find out more in A Home for Unusual Monsters, a thrilling new story from Shaun David Hutchinson.
