Il mostro si presenta sette minuti dopo la mezzanotte. Proprio come fanno i mostri. Ma non è il mostro che Conor si aspettava. Il ragazzo si aspettava l'orribile incubo, quello che viene a trovarlo ogni notte da quando sua madre ha iniziato le cure mediche. Conor si aspettava l'entità fatta di tenebre, di vortici, di urla... No. Questo mostro è un po' diverso. E un albero. Antico e selvaggio. Antico come una storia perduta. Selvaggio come una storia indomabile. E vuole da Conor la cosa più pericolosa di tutte. La verità. Età di lettura: da 12 anni.

Conor tiña o mesmo pesadelo todas as noites desde que a súa nai enfermara gravemente. Pero algo distinto sucedeu unha madrugadaao espertar e atopar un monstro na súa ventá. Era moi antigo,moi vello, e viña con toda a forza da natureza reclamando algomoi importante: o segredo mais oculto de Conor, un rapazque -malia estar asustado ante dureza coa que se lle presentaa vida: a doenza da nai, a dificil relacion coa avoa, a longa distancia que o separa do pai, os problemas na escola- ten que asumira verdade, a sua realidade.Un monstro ven a verme e unha extraordinaria e exitosa novela sobre o amor, a perda e a esperanza. A partir da idea orixinalda escritora norirlandesa Siobhan Dowd, que en 2007 perdeullea batalla ao cancro, Patrick Ness tece unha historia emocionante, divertida e conmovedora na que o valor pode superar a dor.O seu tratamento da enfermidade e da morte non e frivolo,enganoso nin edulcorado, senon autentico, contundente e audaz.

Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite seem to be working. But tonight is different.

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. Since publication, A Monster Calls has become an international bestseller and been made into a film starring Felicity Jones, Liam Neeson and Sigourney Weaver.
