Product description

The book that made John Green say ‘Oh. My. God.’ You’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven. But has Seth gone to hell? Seth has drowned. He’s dead. He felt his body smash to bits on the rocks. So why is he awake? Even weirder, he’s back in the suburban British town he grew up in many years ago. Only – it’s empty. The abandoned streets are overgrown and covered in dust. Is Seth really alone? And what is this place? Is it heaven – or could it be hell? A book that’s like a poke-in-the-eye for your mind. Prepare to ask why we’re really here and what comes next. Only one thing’s certain: with two Carnegie winners already under Patrick Ness’s belt, whatever’s up there really loves him.

“Patrick Ness is an insanely beautiful writer.” John Green

“Profoundly humane and utterly magnificent.” Guardian

Patrick Ness

Bestselling and award-winning novelist Patrick Ness was born in Virginia, USA, and spent his upbringing in the states of Hawaii, Washington and California. He has lived in London since 1999. He is the author of a novel and short story collection for adults, but is best known for the Chaos Walking trilogy: The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer and Monsters of Men. The trilogy has won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, the Costa Children’s Book of the Year Prize, and the Booktrust Teenage Prize. In 2011 Monsters of Men won the prestigious Carnegie Medal after all three books in the trilogy were shortlisted, the first time that has ever happened.

A Monster Calls is Patrick’s sixth book, created from the final idea of 2009 Carnegie Medal winner Siobhan Dowd, whose early death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself. In 2012 it became the first book ever to win both the Carnegie Medal and Kate Greenaway Award in the same year.
