The humor is beautifully woven into thought-provoking prose that left me asking myself many of the same questions Gary had for himself. - Lex 5 Stars on GoodreadsThis story is witty, adorable, thought-provoking, and heart-wrenching. It asks us to think about who we choose to be & teaches self-responsibility. I can easily see this being picked up for a movie or television show. There's so much personality in these characters. - Jami 5 Stars on GoodreadsTo my surprise, this book gave me a wonderful experience and was totally unputdownable.

Winner of the New York Book Reviews Best Read Award
"Probably not what you're expecting."
Gary is an ordinary raccoon who has never thought of himself as a hero.
Encouraged by his quick-witted friend Jenny, he discovers an unusual talent for impersonating other animals, allowing him to slip unnoticed into nearby homes in search of food. At first, it's nothing more than a clever game of survival.
Then the animals of Eleanor Place begin disappearing.
As fear spreads through the forest, Gary and Jenny find themselves drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond the missing animals.
Every mask hides a story.
Unmasked blends suspense, humor, and emotional depth into a character-driven mystery told through the eyes of the animals living alongside us.
Perfect for readers who enjoy layered mysteries, memorable characters, and stories that stay with them long after the final page.
