The monster in Conora�TMs backyard is not the one hea�TMs been expecting a�" the one from the nightmare hea�TMs had every night since his mother started her treatments. This monster is 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 a�" whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself a�" Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.
