Today a very special book of the week: A Monster Calls, or as it is called in the Dutch translation 7 minutes after midnight. The book was written by the American author Patrick Ness after an idea by the British writer Siobhan Dowd. The story is beautifully written, it makes you think and gets into your head. It's about love, loss and hope, it's suspenseful and moving at the same time.
