Description

Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him -- something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.

    Amazing book that kept me on my toes the whole time, even through the VERY end. I have to buy the second book after that. It’s wrong that you play with my emotions like that.
  • Thank you.

    Patrick Ness shows an amazing action and sci-fi book that shows a little bit of sexism, and what our world has come to, and how people want to leave it.

    I haven’t read a book that I was unable to put down in a long time, but I gave this one a shot and let’s just say I’m downloading the next book in the series as we speak. SO MUCH SUSPENSE. I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did.
  • Amazing

    I love this book. I love this book with so much of me. Every thing from the way Todd (Patrick Ness) writes to the detail in the book consumes the reader. I will not lie, ''tis book made me weep so bad. It was amazing. I truly recommend this to read. 👏🏼❤️
