A Monster Calls

A heart-wrenching tale that delves into love, loss, and hope. Conor's mother is sick, and every night he dreams of the same thing. But one night, he wakes up to find an ancient and elemental visitor at his window, who demands the one thing that scares Conor the most: the truth. This novel, from award-winning author Patrick Ness, is a beautifully crafted story about courage and survival, taking inspiration from the final idea of the writer Siobhan Dowd.
