A Fantasy Tale for Youth
Conor is worried. Actually, more than worried—his mother, whom he lives with, is sick. She assures him she’ll recover, but Conor knows that isn’t true. What do you do when your fear and anxiety are so overwhelming that you can’t even admit them to yourself? The mere thought of what lies ahead is so terrifying that Conor can’t face it. And then… the Monster appears.
A Monster Calls is a story about courage, resilience, fear, and love—but also about the comfort and help that can appear in the most unexpected forms.
