Merecedora de numerosos premios y distinciones, Un monstruo viene a verme es la novela mas aclamada de Patrick Ness. Una historia emocionante y extraordinaria sobre un nino, su madre enferma y el monstruo que viene a visitarle. Siete minutos despues de la medianoche, Conor despierta y se encuentra un monstruo en la ventana. Pero no es el monstruo que el esperaba, el de la pesadilla que tiene casi todas las noches desde que su madre empezo el arduo e incansable tratamiento. No, este monstruo es algo diferente, antiguo… Y quiere lo mas peligroso de todo: la verdad. Maliciosa, divertida y conmovedora, Un monstruo viene a verme nos habla de nuestra dificultad para aceptar la perdida y de los lazos fragiles pero extraordinariamente poderosos que nos unen a la vida.

At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting– he’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It’s 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– whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself– Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.
