Patrick Ness has written a masterpiece here, and I am convinced that it will become a classic as word spreads. Aimed at teenage readers, "A Monster Calls" deals with the experience of facing bereavement - an iconic story, told simply and movingly, it moves the reader emotionally, and moves them forward if they are experiencing bereavement themselves. It is also beautifully produced, with amazing artwork throughout. As a teacher, I would say every school library should have a copy, and every bereavement counsellor working with young people too. It is accessible and gripping, so any young reader will be drawn in - as indeed this old reader was. Thoroughly recommended.
It has come without the dust jacket but the book is in good condition. Only the corners of the hardcover are damaged but it is a good value for money.
