Product description

The dystopian phenomenon that’s snapped up the Carnegie Medal and the Costa and Booktrust prizes. An unflinching and brutal saga of mind-control, power and war. Todd Hewitt is the only boy left in Prentisstown. The only boy in a town of men. And the men can hear everything he thinks. And he can hear everything they think. In the constant, overwhelming Noise, there is no privacy. There are no secrets. Or are there? The men of the town have been lying to Todd. And now he has to run…

“Furiously paced, terrifying, exhilarating and heartbreaking.” Sunday Telegraph

“Remarkable… a triumph.” The Times

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.

Totally brilliant

I absolutely love this trilogy - totally ground-breaking. If, like me, you think that pretty much every story has been told, then try this. The story of a planet where your thoughts are continuously broadcast twists and turns in such surprising directions that edge-of-your seat, game-changing cliffhangers almost become the norm. It's bleak and heart-breaking at times too, so prepare yourself for an emotional journey. So totally brilliant that I want everyone to read it! (And one more thing: could this be the most unfilmable story ever? Read it and you'll see what I mean!)
