Sometimes I feel like I have walked into the middle of a movie. Maybe I can make my own movie.
The film will be the story of my life. No not my life but of this experience. I'll call it
what the lady who is the prosecutor called me. Walter Dean Myers's Monster is a
multi-award?winning provocative coming-of-age story about Steve Harmon a teenager facing
prosecution for armed robbery and murder. As Steve acclimates to juvie and endures his trial
he envisions the ordeal as a movie. Monster was the first-ever Michael L. Printz Award
recipient an ALA Best Book a Coretta Scott King Honor selection a National Book Award
finalist and a New York Times bestseller. Now Monster comes to life as a powerful graphic
novel adapted by Guy A. Sims with stunning black-and-white art from Dawud Anyabwile.
