Pet by Catherine Chidgey
Set in the 1980s, this unsettling coming-of-age story follows a bright schoolgirl who becomes the favored “pet” of a charismatic new teacher. What begins as intoxicating attention curdles into manipulation, as the teacher cultivates an inner circle, rewards betrayal, and turns the class into a web of secrets and surveillance. Years later, the narrator reckons with her complicity, the fractures left in friendships and family, and the lingering harm of an adult’s abuse of power.
