Synopsis:
At seven minutes past
midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his
bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's
been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly
every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his
backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something
from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From
the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd-- whose premature
death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself-- Patrick Ness
has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and
monsters both real and imagined.
