My god, there is so much to love about the remarkable Patrick Ness! Where to begin? His beautiful prose? That electrifying originality? Those multifaceted, real-to-the-bone characters? How about the way he explores the messy complexities of the human experience in stories that make us feel seen and known and also forgiven? Above all, there is this: Patrick’s deep, ferocious respect for young readers. He believes they can change the world, and it comes through in every single word. * #1 NYT Bestselling author Libba Bray *An epic journey through both a SF world of extraordinary imagination and an emotional landscape of gripping intensity. * Adrian Tchaikovsky *Intelligent, compelling and utterly devastating, CHAOS WALKING is one of the seminal YA series of this century.
