An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor.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.

Minha história favorita

Esse livro conta umas das minhas histórias favoritas de todos os tempos. Fala sobre quanto sofrimento podemos suportar e como é humano querer que essa dor acabe. Fala sobre aproveitar o tempo que temos com quem nós amamos e mesmo se essas pessoas forem embora, elas sempre farão parte de quem nós somos. A vida infelizmente ou felizmente sempre continua para algum de nós, o mundo não para por causa do nosso sofrimento e temos de lidar com ele da forma que conseguimos.
