Description

An extraordinary novel of love, loss and hope. 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. Tonight, when he wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It’s ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Bestselling novelist Patrick Ness takes the final idea of the late, award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd and weaves a heartbreaking tale of mischief, healing and above all, the courage it takes to survive.

Media Reviews

*****, a thoughtful story that lingers in the mind * Daily Express *
A whole new realm of emotional literature. Read with tissues. * aMUSE Magazine *
This is children’s writing at its best: it appeals to the child in all of us. * Radar (Independent supplement) *
A moving story for kids now out in an adult edition that will resonate with all parents * Bella *
This might be a children’s book, but it’s one that everyone should read. * Stellar *
Heartbreakingly poignant, yet sharply witty in places, the story is stunningly enhanced by Jim Kay’s atmospheric black, white and grey illustrations. * Daily Mail *
A very grown up treatment of a difficult subject, and I defy the hardest hearted reader not to cry. * The Glasgow Herald *
Quite possibly the best book I have ever read. * Teen Titles *
Moving and compelling, this is outstanding writing * Ipswich Star *
