Product Information
The #1 New York Times bestseller An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor. At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting - he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's 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.

Reviews
"Powerful and impressive. The story behind the book is fascinating and moving too, the idea coming to life in the safe hands of Patrick Ness- a vivid example of how stories live on." -Philip Pullman "Patrick Ness has turned his exceptional talent to the subject of loss... This is storytelling as it should be (and almost enver is) - harrowing, lyrical, and transcendent." - Meg Rosoff "I never got to meet Siobhan Dowd. I only know her through her superb books: four electric young adult novels, two published in her lifetime, two after her too-early death. This would have been her fifth book. She had the characters, a premise, and a beginning. What she didn't have, unfortunately, was time. When I was asked if I would consider turning her work into a book, I hesitated. What I wouldn't do- what I couldn't do- was write a novel mimicking her voice. But almost before I could help it, Siobhan's ideas were suggesting new ones to me, and I began to feel that itch that every writer longs for: the itch to tell a story. I felt as if I've been handed a baton, like a particularly fine writer has given me her story and said, 'Go. Run with it. Make trouble.' " - Patrick Ness (from the author's note) "What a wonderful tribute to Siobhan. I hardly know what to say. I think Siobhan would have been delighted that Patrick has taken her idea and worked on it with great imagination and understanding. I can only say thank you to everyone who has been involved in this story." -Denise Dowd, sister of Siobhan Dowd "Patrick Ness has produced a truly brilliant piece of writing. Having so tragically run out of time herself, Siobhan would have loved and appreciated both that he wanted to take up this particular challenge and that he went on to write something so very special. Thank you." -Hilary Delamere on behalf of The Siobhan Dowd Trust - Quote, There's no denying it: this is one profoundly sad story. But it's also wise, darkly funny and brave, told in spare sentences, punctuated with fantastic images and stirring silences. Past his sorrow, fright and rage, Conor ultimately lands in a place - an imperfect one, of course - where healing can begin. A MONSTER CALLS is a gift from a generous storyteller and a potent piece of art. --The New York Times A nuanced tale that draws on elements of classic horror stories to delve into the terrifying terrain of loss. . . . Ness brilliantly captures Conor's horrifying emotional ride as his mother's inevitable death approaches. In an ideal pairing of text and illustration, the novel is liberally laced with Kay's evocatively textured pen-and-ink artwork, which surrounds the text, softly caressing it in quiet moments and in others rushing toward the viewer with a nightmarish intensity.A poignant tribute to the life and talent of Siobhan Dowd and an astonishing exploration of fear. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Profoundly moving, expertly crafted tale... a singular masterpiece, exceptionally well-served by Kay's atmospheric and ominous illustrations... tackles the toughest of subjects by refusing to flinch, meeting the ugly truth about life head-on with compassion, bravery, and insight. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) A brilliantly executed, powerful tale. --School Library Journal (starred review) Ness twists out a resolution that is revelatory in its obviousness, beautiful in its execution, and fearless in its honesty. Kays artwork keeps the pace, gnawing at the edges of the pages with thundercloud shadows and keeping the monster just barely, terribly seeable. --Booklist (starred review) A masterpiece about life and loss that will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned. --Library Media Connection (starred review), A nuanced tale that draws on elements of classic horror stories to delve into the terrifying terrain of loss. . . .

Emotionally wrenching, this draws truth across pain in a way that is accessible to middle-school readers. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Heart-wrenching and thought-provoking. --The Horn Book Patrick Ness is an insanely beautiful writer. --TIME Magazine The power of this beautiful and achingly sad story for readers over the age of 12 derives not only from Mr. Ness's capacity to write heart-stopping prose but also from Jim Kay's stunning black-ink illustrations. There are images in these pages so wild and ragged that they feel dragged by their roots from the deepest realms of myth. --Wall Street Journal The monster is a brilliant creation -- part giant, part yew tree, destructive, didactic, elemental...The book has the thrills and ambition you would expect from the author of the Chaos Walking trilogy...Ness, Dowd, Kay and Walker have rifled death's pockets and pulled out a treasure. --The Guardian Featured/recommended on Oprah's 2012 Kids Reading List --Oprah.com An honest, heart-wrenching story that moved me to tears. --John Boyne (author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas)
