Conor O'Malley is a boy, though I cannot remember his exact age, who is going through quite a lot. His mother is sick. His father lives in America with his other family. He is picked on at school. He is glossed over at school. He has a recurring nightmare that terrifies him.
And then he is visited by a monster.
This book is a strange creature itself, being the product of an idea started by Siobhan Dowd and completed by Patrick Ness. Dowd passed away and the start of this short novel was handed over to Ness to finish. As I haven't read any of Dowd's previous works, I have no idea how close to her style or voice Ness came or if he even attempted to do that. I do know that this book was not exactly what I expected.
