Profoundly moving, expertly crafted tale&#8230; a singular masterpiece, exceptionally well-served by Kay's atmospheric and ominous illustrations&#8230; tackles the toughest of subjects by refusing to flinch, meeting the ugly truth about life head-on with compassion, bravery, and insight.&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)There&#8217;s no denying it: this is one profoundly sad story. But it&#8217;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 &#8212; an imperfect one, of course &#8212; where healing can begin.   A MONSTER CALLS is a gift from a  generous story&shy;teller and a potent piece of art.&#8212;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 Conor&#8217;s horrifying emotional ride as his mother&#8217;s inevitable death approaches. In an ideal pairing of text and illustration, the novel is liberally laced with Kay&#8217;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.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)A brilliantly executed, powerful tale.&#8212;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.&#8212;Booklist (starred review)A masterpiece about life and loss  that will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned.&#8212;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&#8230; Emotionally wrenching, this draws truth across pain in a way that is accessible  to middle-school readers.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksHeart-wrenching and thought-provoking.&#8212;The Horn BookPatrick Ness is an insanely beautiful writer.&#8212;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.&#8212;Wall Street JournalThe monster is a brilliant creation &#8212; 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.&#8212;The GuardianFeatured/recommended on Oprah's 2012 Kids Reading List&#8212;Oprah.comAn honest, heart-wrenching story that moved me to tears.&#8212;John Boyne (author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas)
