A Monster Calls Hardcover - 2011 - 1st Edition
by Patrick Ness; Jim Kay (Illustrator)
An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd--whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself--Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined. Illustrations.
