Patrick Ness is the award-winning and bestselling author of the Chaos Walking trilogy and the critically-acclaimed novels A Monster Calls, More Than This and The Rest of Us Just Live Here. John Green has described him as "an insanely beautiful writer". He has won every major prize in children's fiction, including the Carnegie Medal twice. He's also written the screenplay for the film of A Monster Calls, now a major motion picture, and the BBC Dr Who spin-off, Class. The first Chaos Walking film is slated for release in 2020. He lives in Los Angeles, USA.“There are plenty of graphic, but beautifully wrought sex scenes in this book about a queer teen trying to find some freedom for himself in a small American town and with his deeply religious family.”
The Guardian
“ “Virginia Woolf’s <i>Mrs Dalloway</i> meets Judy Blume’s <i>Forever</i>” is as good a pitch as I’ve heard this year, and this beautifully crafted, complex novel which Ness calls his most personal yet, does not disappoint. […] Told with real tenderness, it’s a brilliant portrayal of the intensity of a teenager’s inner life.”
The Bookseller
"[a] subtle, heartfelt story of love and friendship in small-town America.”
The Guardian
Ness once again demonstrates his profound understanding of the complexities of being a young adult, and of the human condition more generally … Heartbreaking, intense and acutely honest, this novel casts a subtle spell of hope.

It’s signature Ness in many ways, particularly in how it sensitively and maturely deals with the horrors – and the ecstasies – of teenage life. […] Based loosely on ness’ own experience growing up, it’s here that the novel really shines; Adam’s insecurities and struggle with his parents’ beliefs are heartbreaking. Ness’ fictional worlds are littered with fantastic characters: Adam I a wonderful addition to the panoply.
