pamela_jo_1970 's review for:
A Monster Calls
by Patrick Ness
This one just about ripped my heart out. Conor is a 13-year-old boy who is dealing with finding out his mother has a terminal illness. A monster in the form of a yew tree keeps showing up every night at 12:07 a.m. to tell Conor tales. Those tales, the presence of the monster, the fact that the monster appears a yew tree, his mother’s illness, treatments, and effects and the profound impact it has on Conor all come together magically, if not devastatingly, in this book. This book and its characters will probably be with me forever. Five stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
