(2) YA Translated by Cathy Hirano. In a sensitive coming-of-age novel translated from the Japanese, Tomomi has dreams in which she appears as a roaring monster. Awake, she watches helplessly as her troubled family disintegrates. When she and her brother assist a woman who feeds the city's stray cats, Tomomi acquires a self-assurance that allows her to face the problems at home while she learns to accommodate the monsters within and without.
