You’re not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover but a good cover should give a clue to the content and set the tone for the story. When I first saw the cover of Rose Szabo’s book What Big Teeth my immediate reaction was not a desire to read the story inside. However, the first few chapters have me intrigued and wanting to find out what happens to this strange, wild family. Can Eleanor come home from boarding school after so long and fit in with this diverse and scary group that makes up her family tree? Can she take care of them and become a part of the fabric of their lives? Szabo has spun her web and I have been caught- wanting more. More of this different yet still familiar world of monsters which isn’t so different from all families. Families with their strange dynamics and individuals trying to find their place to fit in wondering if they ever can or will.
