A book review by Madeline Soucie
Based on an idea
by Siobhan Dowd, who died before she could write a story, this was finished by
Patrick Ness. A Monster Calls is like Miss Peregrines's Home for Peculiar
Children if anyone has read it. It's not like most books and has events that
could be real or happen to anyone but has a fictional twist to it.
Conor has
nightmares about his mother that have been going on ever since she got sick, and
he has been waiting for them to come to life. So when a new monster comes to
visit one night, it's not what Conor was expecting. This monster is worse; he
wants the truth -- something Conor won't admit.
Conor is haunted by a monster who won't stop until he gets the ultimate truth that in the end will put Conor at peace with himself.
Find it in APL TEEN Fiction YA FIC Ness, P.
