A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness is a poignant and powerful exploration of grief, loss, and the complexities of human emotion. The story follows Conor O’Malley, a young boy struggling to cope with his mother’s terminal illness. When a monstrous tree-like creature visits Conor at night, it promises to tell him three stories in exchange for Conor’s own truth. Through hauntingly beautiful prose and stunning illustrations by Jim Kay, Ness crafts a deeply moving narrative that delves into the depths of Conor’s anguish and his journey towards acceptance.
