A Monster Calls

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, thirteen-year-old Conor encounters an unexpected monstrous visitor outside his window at midnight, contrasting the nightmare he's been dreading since his mother's illness began. This ancient and wild entity demands something deeply unsettling from him: the truth. Drawing from the final idea of Siobhan Dowd, who passed away before realizing her vision, Patrick Ness crafts a haunting yet darkly humorous tale of mischief, loss, and the monsters that lurk both within and outside.
