NOW A #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.
Characters:10. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fantasy.
