As per my reading, I would like to say, A Monster Calls is a low fantasy novel written for children by Patrick Ness, from an original idea by Siobhan Dowd, illustrated by Jim Kay, and published by Walker in 2011.[1] Set in present-day England, it features a boy who struggles to cope with the consequences of his mother's terminal cancer; he is repeatedly visited in the middle of the night by a monster who tells stories. Dowd was terminally ill with cancer herself when she started the story and died before she could write it.[3]
Patrick Ness and illustrator Kay won the Carnegie Medal and the Greenaway Medal in 2012, the "year's best" children's literary awards by the British librarians(CILIP). A Monster Calls is the only book whose author and illustrator, whether two persons or one, have won both Medals.[4][5][6][7]
A film adaptation, directed by J. A. Bayona and written for the screen by Ness himself, was released in 2016.Probably readers may look it from a different angle . PERSPECTIVE
ALL THE BEST
