what I thought about "a monster calls"

This is young adult fiction. It's a story about a boy whose mother is dying of cancer, and I cried while I was reading it, of course.  It's an interesting treatment of the subject.  Compelling and honest and real.  I think I might read it to my boys.  I don't know that they'll grasp all of the nuance, and appreciate the layers of the story, but I think it will still be a thought-provoking and rewarding story.  I recommend it.
