Patrick Ness is truly a gifted writer. I fell in love with The Knife of Never Letting Go even though I never thought I’d enjoy a book like that. His stories are compelling, poignant, and thought-provoking. I’m featuring the trailer for his new book, A Monster Calls. I just bought my copy the other day and plan on starting it today. Teachers/bloggers/librarians I trust have been raving about this book, so I can’t wait to read it. The book trailer is awesome and the music is beautiful. Enjoy!
P.S. A Monster Calls has been nominated for a Cybils award 
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness (Summary from Goodreads):
As they do. 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 one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming. . . .
This monster, though, is something different. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.
It wants the truth.
Patrick Ness spins a tale from the final story idea of Siobhan Dowd, whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself. Darkly mischievous and painfully funny, A Monster Calls is an extraordinarily moving novel about coming to terms with loss from two of our finest writers for young adults.
“Compelling . . . powerful and impressive.” – Philip Pullman, author of the award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy
“Exceptional . . . this is storytelling as it should be – harrowing, lyrical, and transcendent.” – Meg Rosoff, author of the Printz Award–winning novel How I Live Now
“Brilliant and elegant, with all the thrills and ambition you would expect from the author of the Chaos Walking trilogy.” – Frank Cottrell Boyce, award-winning author of Millions and Cosmic
“Haunting, lyrical, powerful, and true. Patrick Ness has crafted a masterful story about grief and loss, love and hope that lingers in the heart like a ghost.” – Libba Bray, author of the Printz Award-winning novel Going Bovine

I put this one in my Book Trailer Thursday as well, haha. Didn’t know it would be on the original!
You should check out the trailer for Liesl and Po as well, it’s gorgeous.
Oh I love the trailer for Liesl & Po! The whole thing is wonderful, including the music.
