More Than This by Patrick Ness

In his newest novel for young adults, author Patrick Ness begins our story with a boy named Seth. He is alone, cold, scared, and drowning. But seemingly moments later, he finds himself awake. Alive. He has the memories of dying, of being in pain. And he is in a place that is seemingly familiar, but has no idea where… He just wants to find answers.


With beautiful finesse, amazing parallelism, and astounding bravery, Ness weaves a tale of a young man going through self-discovery and personal awareness, all while recounting his past and realizing who he is as a person.
