Developing an idea left behind by the late Siobhan Dowd, Ness tells the story of a young boy who is pummeled with grief and doubt as he watches his mother succumb to cancer. A grim, fable-spouting monster visits him in the deep of night, but his own recurring nightmare holds the darkest terrors. ( winner—Youth Fiction.)
