a book I wished I had as a child

Published by Kristin , 2 years ago
This young adult book is a fairy tale of grief and rage, beautiful in its simple tale of Conor and his monster.

An incredible read

Published by S , 2 years ago
Gives the reader a glimpse into the complex emotions of a child that he himself doesn't understand. It's a beautiful story of love, loss, and healing. Grab a tissue box and cue the waterworks! I couldn't put it down.

So beautiful

This book really hit me in the feels. So very tragically beautiful

A book that resonates

Published by Lily , 4 years ago
First book I read that resonated with me. Beautiful illustrations and message and symbols.

A monster calls. Not what I expected.

Published by Ana , 4 years ago
I loved how there was such a connection between the leading characters. It was just a bit to slow for my taste.

7/10 would probably recommend to a friend

Published by chelsicus <3 , 6 years ago
I was really excited to read this and was not completely let down. While I thought the idea was good, I was never able to connect with Connor until almost the very end. Despite that, I was able to enjoy the book, even if at a distance, and would probably recommend it to someone that needed a quick read. Also FYI, there are some crude pictures and there are few times the text takes up the whole page. Definitely something that can be devoured within a few hours.

Read it.

And keep a box of tissues with you at all times. That aside its a really good book.
