A class set of A Monster Calls will give every student the chance to engage deeply with a powerful and emotionally resonant novel. The story explores themes of loss, courage, and healing in a way that is accessible and meaningful to middle-grade readers. With individual copies, students can annotate, reflect, and participate fully in discussions without having to share or wait their turn for a book.
This novel will not only strengthen their reading and analytical skills, but also provide a safe space to talk about emotions and real-life challenges.
It’s the kind of book that sparks empathy and lasting impact—and I can't wait to experience that journey with them, together as a class.
