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.
