The first official US review of A Monster Calls is in Publisher's Weekly today.  And it's very, very good, gosh!  A starred review (which is great) and lots of very nice things to say.

Also had a really good review in the Irish Independent over the weekend, so I shall now go and say bad things to myself in the mirror, lest I get a big head.  Ah, a big head!  That's a good place to start...

On Wednesday, I shall be doing an interview on Twitter from 1.30-2pm BST with the Carnegie Shadowing Group at Roundwood Park School, the day before the winner of the award is announced.  To have a look, follow both me on @Patrick_Ness and them on @RPS_Library and look for the hashtag #nessvisit. 

Greetings to the new commenters and, as always, more soon...
