A Monster Calls: A Novel (Movie Tie-in): Inspired By An Idea From Siobhan Dowd Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor.At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author 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.

I am a breast cancer survivor so it really touched home for me. Great read.
Well written story that draws you in. A hard look into a young boy's trials. It will be a hard movie to watch.
13 year old Conor is learning to cope with the potential loss of his Mother from cancer. Included in the story are nightmare monsters, school yard bullies and a particular Yew tree. I so wanted to love this book but it didn't happen for me.
