- Excerpt: Dark enough to receive a PG-13 rating, it’s also profoundly moving in teaching someone that age (or a bit younger) a lesson in mortality. And just because the topic is difficult doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be unapologetically honest.

- Excerpt: Conor’s journey provides audiences with a profound catharsis that allows us to embrace our own monster, our own pain, and to heal along with our hurt little hero.

- Excerpt: A Monster Calls impressed me with the remarkable way it combines the sad reality of a young boy’s life and the fantasy world he creates to deal with his problems.
