RaveThe Washington PostTensely constructed and absorbing ... It’s a juicy story. Brodeur’s engaging portrait of this family is aided by her facility at dropping in and out of the voices of her sharply discerned characters. The book is told in alternating chapters from the perspectives of five narrators ... Brodeur has indeed crafted a consummate summer read with Little Monsters, which somehow evokes smooth beach glass and hot pink sunsets with nary a mention of either.
