A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness




















Rating: 5/5


For my first Patrick Ness read, I absolutely loved it. A powerful book that forces you to look at the truth while going through the obstacles of acceptance, forgiveness, hate, abandonment and love. 

Connor is a young boy whose mother is receiving chemo treatment, staying positive and believing that they will overcome this he still has to deal with the bullies at school, a grandmother who shows him no love or affection, and a father who left him and his mother and has moved to the US and now has a new family. 

The truth is hidden deep within and it takes a monster appearing to him every night to bring forth all that Connor can't or won't accept. You will know the outcome before it happens, it's just of matter of how we react and if we, like Connor, accept it by.......letting go.
