Description
Patrick Ness’s #1 New York Times bestseller and Carnegie Medal–winning masterwork is poised to draw a discerning crossover target audience.
The monster in Conor’s backyard isn’t the only he’s been expecting — the only from the nightmare he’s had each and every night since his mother began her treatments. This monster is ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and threatening. It wants the reality. From the overall idea of award-winning creator 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.
