AnnMarie’s Reviews > A Monster Calls > Status Update

My students are reading this in one of my classes this semester, so of course so am I. I don’t normally do sad stories, and this one promises to be sad, but it’s also very beautiful and powerful in its mundaneness.

I loved this line, uttered by the titular monster: Stories are wild creatures. When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?
