How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist? This question is at the heart of Pet. Jam unknowingly releases Pet from one of her mother's paintings. It looks like a monster, but it has appeared in order to hunt a monster on the loose. In the town and time where Jam lives, all the 'monsters' (or evil people in the world), have been eradicated. They live in a virtual utopia where everyone is good and kind and there is no evil. So when Pet shows up, it's hard for Jam to even believe that there is anyone left to hunt. When it turns out that the monster is in her best friend's house, Jam is terrified, but she's part of the hunt now and must act. Monsters can be anywhere, even if you think you're safe. You have to be vigilant and you have to 'see the unseen', as Pet continually tells Jam. It's a reminder to look at the world with your eyes wide open and to make you you don't get too comfortable in your surroundings.
