Product Information
Conor’s Mum is dying of cancer, but no one is willing to tell him the truth.
The monster showed up at 12.07 outside his window, but it’s not the monster
he’s been expecting, the one from his nightmare which he’s had every night
since his Mum got sick. The monster is ancient and wild and he wants something
from Conor. It wants the truth.
A compelling story of how Conor faces his monster and learns how to deal
with his Mum’s illness.
Patrick Ness wrote this novel, but the original idea came from Siobhan Dowd
whose premature death prevented her from writing it herself. Thought
provoking and fantastic for in depth discussions about illness and dying for all
Year 9’s and upwards.
