The bestselling novel about love, loss and the power of story-telling from the
twice Carnegie Medal-winning Patrick Ness, soon to be a major motion picture.
Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill,
ever since she started the treatments that dont quite seem to be working. But
tonight is different. Tonight, when he wakes, theres a visitor at his window.
Its ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous
thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Patrick Ness takes the final idea
of the late, award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd and weaves an extraordinary and
heartbreaking tale of mischief, healing and above all, the courage it takes to
survive.
