A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
A New York Times bestseller!Patrick Ness's Carnegie Medal-winning masterwork is poised to attract a discerning crossover audience.
The monster in Conor's backyard is not the one he's been expecting -- the one from the nightmare he's had every night since his mother started her treatments. This monster is ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd -- whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself -- Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.
Patrick Ness is the author of seven novels and a collection of short stories. He was born in Virginia and raised in Hawaii and Washington. He has twice been awarded the Carnegie Medal, as well as the Guardian Children's Literature Prize and the Costa Children's Book Award. A Monster Calls, his best-selling novel, was the first to win both the Kate Greenaway and Carnegie Prizes in 2012. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages. He is based in London.
