Description

Profoundly moving, expertly crafted tale… a singular masterpiece, exceptionally well-served by Kay's

atmospheric and ominous illustrations… tackles the toughest of subjects by refusing to flinch, meeting the

ugly truth about life head-on with compassion, bravery, and insight.—Publishers Weekly (starred

review)Thereâ€s no denying it: this is one profoundly sad story. But itâ€s also wise, darkly funny and

brave, told in spare sentences, punctuated with fantastic images and stirring silences. Past his sorrow, fright

and rage, Conor ultimately lands in a place — an imperfect one, of course — where healing can begin. A

MONSTER CALLS is a gift from a generous story­teller and a potent piece of art.—The New York

TimesA nuanced tale that draws on elements of classic horror stories to delve into the terrifying terrain of

loss. . . . Ness brilliantly captures Conorâ€s horrifying emotional ride as his motherâ€s inevitable death

approaches. In an ideal pairing of text and illustration, the novel is liberally laced with Kayâ€s evocatively

textured pen-and-ink artwork, which surrounds the text, softly caressing it in quiet moments and in others

rushing toward the viewer with a nightmarish intensity.A poignant tribute to the life and talent of Siobhan

Dowd and an astonishing exploration of fear.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)A brilliantly executed,

powerful tale.—School Library Journal (starred review)Ness twists out a resolution that is revelatory in its

obviousness, beautiful in its execution, and fearless in its honesty. Kays artwork keeps the pace, gnawing at

the edges of the pages with thundercloud shadows and keeping the monster just barely, terribly

seeable.—Booklist (starred review)A masterpiece about life and loss that will stay with the reader long after

the final page is turned.—Library Media Connection (starred review)The heavily textured monochromatic

illustrations are silent screams, rendering Conor's inner chaos palpable with dense shading and jagged edges

symbolizing the wildness within while shifting perspectives alternately create intimacy and distance, like the

push and pull he feels as he tries to stay engaged in an impossibly painful situation… Emotionally

wrenching, this draws truth across pain in a way that is accessible to middle-school readers.—Bulletin of

the Center for Children's BooksHeart-wrenching and thought-provoking.—The Horn BookPatrick Ness is

an insanely beautiful writer.—TIME MagazineThe power of this beautiful and achingly sad story for

readers over the age of 12 derives not only from Mr. Ness's capacity to write heart-stopping prose but also

from Jim Kay's stunning black-ink illustrations. There are images in these pages so wild and ragged that they

feel dragged by their roots from the deepest realms of myth.—Wall Street JournalThe monster is a brilliant

creation — part giant, part yew tree, destructive, didactic, elemental...The book has the thrills and ambition

you would expect from the author of the Chaos Walking trilogy...Ness, Dowd, Kay and Walker have rifled

death's pockets and pulled out a treasure.—The GuardianFeatured/recommended on Oprah's 2012 Kids
