A Monster Calls - Softcover

*****, a thoughtful story that lingers in the mind * Daily Express * A whole new realm of emotional literature. Read with tissues. * aMUSE Magazine * This is children's writing at its best: it appeals to the child in all of us. * Radar (Independent supplement) * A moving story for kids now out in an adult edition that will resonate with all parents * Bella * This might be a children's book, but it's one that everyone should read. * Stellar * Heartbreakingly poignant, yet sharply witty in places, the story is stunningly enhanced by Jim Kay's atmospheric black, white and grey illustrations. * Daily Mail * A very grown up treatment of a difficult subject, and I defy the hardest hearted reader not to cry. * The Glasgow Herald * Quite possibly the best book I have ever read. * Teen Titles * Moving and compelling, this is outstanding writing * Ipswich Star *

This is an extraordinarily moving novel about coming to terms with loss. The monster showed up just after midnight. As they do. but it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting.
