Product description

The Ness kills it yet again! Ordinary? Never. In a world of fantasy monsters and high-school gods, what’s left for the rest of us: the normal ones? Even in a fantasy world, we don’t all get to be the Chosen One. You know – the hero fighting zombies or soul-eating ghosts, or this weird new thing with the deadly blue lights. Most of us are like Mikey. The kids just trying to get to class or get their homework done. Mikey’s idea of heroism is finding the courage to ask Henna to the prom. Preferably before someone blows up the high school (again). Because life isn’t always about this week’s end of the world. Even when your best buddy is the god of mountain lions…

  • An extraordinary author’s hymn to ordinary life
  • Brilliantly original mix of fantasy, sci-fi and realism
  • “Clever, witty and warm” – Daily Mail
  • “An insanely beautiful writer” – John Green

This book contains mature content and language.

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.
