A escuridão, o vento, os gritos. Os olhos estatelados, a respiração entrecortada. É o pesadelo de novo, como em quase todas as noites depois que a mãe de Conor ficou doente. A escuridão, o vento, os gritos – e o despertar no mesmo ponto, antes de chegar ao fim.

It’s Saturday, it’s summer and, although he doesn’t know it yet, everything in Adam Thorn’s life is going to fall apart. Relationships will change, he’ll change, but maybe, just maybe, he’ll find freedom in the release.

Time is running out though, because way across town a ghost as risen from the lake. Searching, yearning, she leaves a trail of destruction in her wake…

A boy drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments. He dies. Then he wakes, naked and bruised and thirsty, but alive. How can this be? And what is this strange deserted place?

As he struggles to understand what is happening, the boy dares to hope. Might this not be the end? Might there be more to this life, or perhaps this afterlife?

From multi-award-winning Patrick Ness comes one of the most provocative and moving novels of our time.

Todd Hewitt é um garoto de doze anos, o último menino de Prestissburgo, uma cidade onde só moram homens. Ele vive em um mundo cheio de "Ruído" em que os pensamentos privados de todos os homens e de todos os animais são audíveis. Em um mês ele fará treze anos e se tornará um homem. Mas a cidade está escondendo segredos dele, segredos que vão forçá-lo a fugir do prefeito e dos homens de Prentissburgo junto com seu cachorro e a primeira garota que ele já conheceu na vida.

A cada pagina o leitor ficará cada vez mais conectado a Todd e Viola e sua historia de amizade e sentirá genuína afeição por Manchee o cachorro ajudante de Todd, cujo comportamento é hilário e comovente.

Na sua essência, é uma historia sobre um garoto forçado a crescer rapidamente em um mundo de ruínas e loucura, armado apenas com sua convicção de fazer a coisa certa para sobreviver.

Todd vive em um mundo onde um germe matou todas as mulheres, um germe que deixou os homens loucos, o germe que significou o fim dos spackles quando a loucura dos homens colocou as mãos em uma arma.

O livro é dirigido a jovens adolescentes, recomendado aos leitores com mais de 13 anos, mas também tem forte apelo para adultos.

Nós estávamos na Praça, na praça onde eu iria correr, segurando ela, carregando ela, dizendo-lhe para permanecer viva, permanecer viva até que nós estivéssemos seguros, até que chegássemos ao paraíso, assim, poderiam salvá-la - mas não havia nenhuma segurança, nenhuma segurança em nada, havia apenas ele e seus homens... Fugindo anteriormente de um exército implacável, Todd deixou Viola ser desesperadamente ferida direto nas mãos de seu pior inimigo, o prefeito Prentiss. Imediatamente separado de Viola e preso, Todd é forçado a aprender os caminhos da nova ordem do prefeito. Mas que segredos se escondem fora da cidade? E onde está Viola? Ela ainda está viva? E qual é a misteriosa resposta? E então, um dia, as bombas começam a explodir... "A Missão" é um romance tenso, chocante e profundamente comovente de resistência sob a pressão mais extrema. Este é o segundo título da trilogia "Mundo em Caos".

Três exércitos marcham em Nova Prentisburgo, cada um tentando destruir os demais. Todd e Viola se veem presos no meio do conflito, sem possibilidade de fuga.
Depois que as batalhas começam, como eles poderiam interromper a luta? Como eles poderiam estabelecer a paz sendo eles a minoria? E, se a guerra transforma homens em monstros, que terríveis escolhas os esperam? De repente uma terceira voz surge na batalha, uma voz determinada a se vingar.
O que você faria? Seguiria um tirano ou um terrorista? Salvaria a vida da pessoa que você mais ama, ou milhares de estranhos? Acreditaria na vitória, ou assumiria que está perdido?
Tornando-se adultos em meio ao tumulto, Todd e Viola questionam tudo o que sabem, correndo através do horror e indignação em direção a um final chocante.

Snowscape is set after the end of Monsters of Men , so that’s when you should read it.

That’s all I’ll say, I don’t want to give anything away. ;-)

- Patrick Ness

The Wide, Wide Sea is set in the past, at a time before the Spackle War, and we get a first look at the fishing village on the sea where some very important things happen at the end of Monsters of Men .

Best read after The Ask and the Answer but before Monsters.

(again, hints of things to come) - Patrick Ness

The New World is the story of how Viola came to where we found her in
The Knife of Never Letting Go
.

It is best read immediately after that book because there are hints of things to come.

(I'm always hinting at things to come; it's fun). - Patrick Ness

The bestselling novel about love, loss and hope from the twice Carnegie Medal-winning Patrick Ness.

Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite seem to be working. But tonight is different. Tonight, when he wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It's ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth.

Patrick Ness takes the final idea of the late, award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd and weaves an extraordinary and heartbreaking tale of mischief, healing and above all, the courage it takes to survive.

This is an exclusive, signed edition featuring an exclusive art print and yellow sprayed edges.

Award-winning writer Patrick Ness's bold and irreverent novel powerfully asks what if you weren't the Chosen One? The one who's supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death? What if you were like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.

Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week's end of the world and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life. Even if your best friend might just be the God of mountain lions...An exceptional novel from the author praised by John Green as "an insanely beautiful writer".

An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor.
At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. 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.
