Yes, this is being made into a movie and I can't wait to see it because I really liked the book. Conor is 13 and dealing with his mother having cancer. A monster, in the form of a yew tree, comes to help him. The monster in this book is scary, but also protective and at times funny in his dealings with Conor. He won't tell Conor directly why he is there to help him, he tells stories to help Conor figure out why he called the monster. You might be interested to know that the author, Patrick Ness, was asked to write this story based on an idea of another author, Siobhan Dowd, after she died of cancer at age 47.
