In 1950s small-town America, fifteen-year-old Phoebe and her famous mother avoid "Shivers," or monster attacks, with the help of Daddy, a giant (invisible to others) man in the sky. When Phoebe's mom vanishes, Phoebe uncovers the harrowing truth about Daddy and the so-called attacks. Reminiscent of the campy horror and sci-fi flicks from that era, this novel is engaging, cinematic, and very quirky.
