A Monster Calls
Patrick Ness
The monster showed up just after
midnight. As they do. But it isn’t
the monster Conor’s been expecting.
He’s been expecting the one
from his nightmare, the one he’s
had nearly every night since his
mother started her treatments,
the one with the darkness and
the wind and the screaming. This
monster is something different.
Something ancient, something wild.
And it wants the most dangerous
thing of all from Conor. It wants
the truth. Darkly mischievous and
painfully funny, “A Monster Calls” is
an extraordinary novel of coming
to terms with loss that will appeal
to teenagers and adults alike.
The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of
the Stairs
Christina Hopkinson
Mary Gilmour’s life is going down
a plug hole. Her job is part time but
housework is full time, and she has
no time at all for her two young
sons. Mary believes there is only
one thing standing between her
and organised contentment: Joel,
her husband. Since star charts
have worked on improving the
behaviour of their children, she
designs an equivalent for her
husband. Although he has no idea
of it, Joel has six months to prove
that his credits outweigh his debits.
Or else.
