Description
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness At seven minutes past midnight, Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it's not the monster he's been expecting - it's ancient, wild, and different from the one in his nightmares. The monster wants something from Conor, something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. This haunting and darkly funny novel is based on an idea from award-winning author Siobhan Dowd, whose premature death prevented her from writing it herself. Patrick Ness has spun a compelling story of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined. With its unflinching and deeply moving portrayal of a boy's struggle with his mother's illness, this novel is not for the faint of heart.
