An incredibly immersive tale, The Knife of Never Letting Go is a powerful story about a boy on the cusp of manhood — who also happens to be the last boy in a town full of men who have been plagued by a germ. When Todd realizes that a dark secret is lurking, he flees with his loyal dog at his side to attempt to uncover the truth. Although it is a harrowing tale of survival, The Knife of Never Letting Go is also a deeply thought-provoking and emotional story at its core that will leave you breathless and running to pick up the next installment.
Read it before you see it! The first book of Patrick Ness’s astonishing Chaos Walking trilogy, inspiration for a major motion picture, is now available in a movie tie-in edition.
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. In the midst of the cacophony, Todd knows that the town is hiding something from him: something so awful he is forced to flee. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, Todd stumbles 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.
