Cat's Cradle: The Golden Twine (Cat's Cradle #1)

Jo Rioux (illustrator of M. T. Anderson's highly acclaimed The Daughters of Ys) makes her debut as a writer-illustrator in this fantasy-adventure graphic novel trilogy!

Suri loves monsters - studying their lore, telling stories about them (for a fee), and - she hopes - one day taming them. Unfortunately, no one takes an orphan street-urchin who travels with a merchant camp very seriously. But Suri's self-confidence, cleverness, and ambition serve her well when a mysterious new wagon joins her camp - holding something very big, very loud, and very monstrous.

And that's before Suri runs afoul of a treacherous family with its own beastly secret - and a prince hunting the greatest monster of all.
