The book I am reading is called A Monster Calls. I picked this book because I have seen the movie, and the movie was very good, and i thought why not read the book. The protagonist is Conner O' Malley. He is the main character of the book. The antagonist is Harry. Harry is the character who bullies Conner. The main conflict is Conner's mom has cancer so a giant monster comes. The life lesson is sometimes you can't do anything about things that are happening. The best part of this book is when the monster tells him the 2nd story, and Conner ends up destroying his grandmas house.
