Patrick Ness is the award-winning and bestselling author of A Monster Calls, More Than This, The Rest of Us Just Live Here and Release as well as the legendary Chaos Walking trilogy. The first book in his middle grade series, Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody, was shortlisted for the Nero Awards. John Green has described him as ""an insanely beautiful writer"". He has won every major prize in children's fiction, including the Carnegie Medal for Writing twice. He has written the screenplay for the film of A Monster Calls and the BBC Dr Who spin-off, Class. He lives in London.
Piper at the Gates of Dusk is rich in action, intrigue and politics. There is a desperate attempt to save the only world they now have and the only world the young people have ever known. Patrick Ness has a sharp eye for teenage fears and hopes. His teen-aged protagonists struggle to be heard over overbearing adults who brush them off as too young to have valid solutions to the problems presented. I raced through this book with its never ending action and intrigue. With themes of activism, social justice, racism, disability and gender dysphoria Piper at the Gates of Dusk is a book for our times. * theburgeoningbookshelf via instagram *
