General Note:
"Patrick Ness spins a tale from the final story idea of Siobban Dowd, whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself. Darkly mischievous and painfully funny, A monster calls is an extraordinary moving novel about coming to terms with loss from two of our finest writers for young adults."--inside jacket.
Abstract:
Thirteen-year-old Conor awakens one night to find a monster outside his bedroom window, but not the one from the recurring nightmare that began when his mother became ill--an ancient, wild creature that wants him to face truth and loss.
