All of this strain causes nightmares that Conor can hardly believe. His nightmares scare him. They turn him into a violent and uncontrollable child. They haunt him. And, eventually, his nightmares save his life. In a gripping and moving work, A Monster Calls is a must-read for anyone going through any major life-change!
