Patrick Ness's Carnegie Medal-winning masterwork is poised to attract a discerning crossover audience. The monster in Conor's backyard is not the one he's been expecting -- the one from the nightmare he's had every night since his mother started her treatments. This monster is 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.Author: Patrick NessPublisher: Candlewick Press (MA)Published: 03/12/2013Pages: 224Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.08lbsSize: 8.10h x 6.40w x 0.60dISBN: 9780763660659Age Range: 12-17Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 4.8Point Value: 5Interest Level: Middle Grade PlusQuiz #/Name: 147163 / Monster CallsAward: Green Mountain Book Award - NomineeAbout the AuthorPatrick
