Review
Praise for Man Made Boy “Love monsters? If you do, Jon Skovrons Man Made Boy is for you. If you dont, why not?”— Kelly Link, award-winning author of Magic for Beginners and Pretty Monsters “Skovron weaves all things creepy and strange into a tale that is heartwarming, hilarious, and full of memorable characters.”— John Corey Whaley, winner of the Michael L. Printz Award for Where Things Come Back “Skovron has mastered the beauty, tragedy, and hilarity of the fine line between monsters and men. Read this book and marvel at his creation.”— Andrea Cremer, bestselling author of the Nightshade series “If Man Made Boy hasnt been optioned for a film or at least a CW series by the end of the year, we can be assured that Hollywood has actually forgotten how to read. Because Boy, for all his used parts, is an original.”—i09.com
