The monster in Conor’s backyard is not the one he’s been expecting — the one from the nightmare he’s had every night since his mother started her treatments. This monster is ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. 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. This paperback movie tie-in edition includes a book group discussion guide. Review: TRUTH: THE GREAT HEALER - A MONSTER CALLS is beautiful, terrible and profound. I have not been this emotionally invested in a story in many years and savored each page of this story that draws you in so completely that you find yourself totally at the mercy of the narrative. Each of the four stories in A MONSTER CALLS evoke real emotion and a sense of love and loss that is truly poignant as Conor, a young boy trying to deal with his mother’s terminal cancer, is visited each night by a monster who insists that it is Conor who has summoned him. The monster says he will tell Conor three true stories after which Conor must tell a true story of his own or face the wrath of the monster. The stories told by the monster are thinly veiled representations of characters and situations Conor is confronting and attempting to cope with. Each of the stories contains a life lesson in the complexities of people’s behavior, the judgement and punishment for ones foibles while ultimately revealing that it is being truthful that is the most important gift we can give ourselves. This review is just a brief glimpse into a wonderful book that can be enjoyed by the YA crowd and as well as adults. We can all learn from this insightful book. Review: A Fabulous YA Novel - Given its difficult subject matter, i.e. a young boy's mother dying of cancer, this book is still an enthralling and rewarding read. The fantasy and realistic elements are wonderfully interwoven. The movie is true to the novel and worth purchasing in combination with the book due to its excellent cast. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #143,259 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #64 in Teen & Young Adult Monster Fiction #78 in Teen & Young Adult Parents Fiction #139 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Death & Dying | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 579 Reviews | ## Images ![A Monster Calls: A Novel (Movie Tie-in): Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XruB-amJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TRUTH: THE GREAT HEALER *by R***M on May 11, 2017* A MONSTER CALLS is beautiful, terrible and profound.

It is heavy, like the mood of its protagonist, with high quality paper and beautiful illustrations. This collector's edition includes interviews with people involved in making the movie: artists, producers, actors, who talk about more than just "being in the movie," but how to make trees move, how to find places that fit the film. A universal story in a presentation that might peak the interest of many different students in many different fields. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Monster Calls: A Novel (Movie Tie-in): Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd - The Outsiders - The Outsiders (A Full Lenth Play in Two Acts) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/34922942-a-monster-calls-a-novel-movie-tie-in-inspired-by](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/34922942-a-monster-calls-a-novel-movie-tie-in-inspired-by) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
