A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
A Monster Calls is a semi-fantastical story about a boy named Conor. His mom is terminally ill and he is forced to live with his grandmother. Only, him and his grandmother do not get along. Conor's father moved quite a distance away and has a new family, and Conor feels like he is alone. One night, a tree shows up at Conor's window and takes him on a journey to teach him a lesson about grief and acceptance and finding peace within yourself. This is a dark, semi fantastical tale. I read this book fairly quickly and I would recommend it to anyone who has had to deal with grief and depression. Conor is a great character. I gave this book 4/5 ⭐on Goodreads.
