In 'Green-Eyed Monster', Joyce Carol Oates introduces us to Franky Pierson, a 14-year-old who is about to discover that appearances can be deceiving. Behind a smile, a hug, or a glance, a monster capable of the worst actions can hide.

A youth read that invites reflection on the true nature of people and the hidden dangers in everyday life.
