A monster calls is about a 13 year old boy named Conor
who is having to come with reality that
his mom is very sick and she does not seem like she is getting better.
Conor has a reoccurring bad nightmare that keeps haunting him every night, but
later on a different nightmare that he thinks is real is of a monster. This
monster is a form of a yew tree that comes to visit him and he says that Conor
has summoned for him. The Monster tells him that he is going to tell him three
stories and at the end of the stories Conor needs to tell him the truth of his
nightmare. Conor has this monster so deep in his mind that causes him anger and
destruction to those around him. The monster symbolizes that sometimes reality
is not pretty and in the real world not everything going to go the way you want
it to. This books teaches us that it is ok to let go and feel hurt and pain
because that is what makes us more human. The scary truth is that nobody is ready
for the real world and what it brings us.
