ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"A Monster Calls" by Patrick Ness, tells the story of Conor, a young boy grappling with his mother's terminal illness and the nightmares that plague him. One night, he is visited by a monster in the form of a yew tree, who promises to tell him three stories if Conor tells him a fourth.

As the monster shares tales of moral ambiguity, Conor is forced to confront complex emotions and uncomfortable truths about himself. He is feeling invisible, and must deal with the impact of his mother's condition. Conor's journey explores themes of grief, loss, truth, and the power of stories to heal. The monster serves as a catalyst for Conor's emotional growth, guiding him toward acceptance and understanding.
