At first, the bond between a boy and his new leopard gecko shines with curiosity, love, and the promise of family. But as weeks turn into months, the excitement of pet ownership begins to fade-and the leopard gecko is left to wonder what it truly means to be cared for. Hunger gnaws at her. Resentment builds. Shadows of neglect creep into her world.
Is it really the boy's fault? Or is she simply a small life, too easy to forget in the busyness of a larger one?
Neglect is a haunting story told through the eyes of a pet who only wanted love-and what happens when that love slowly disappears.
