À propos de l?auteur

Patrick Ness was born in the USA, but has lived in London

He writes both novels and short stories for adults and
children, but is best known for his books for young adults.
His first books for teenagers made up the Chaos Walking
trilogy, of which the first book, The Knife of Never
Letting Go, won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize
and the Booktrust Teenage Prize, followed by The Ask and
the Answer, which won the Costa Award. All three titles
in the trilogy were shortlisted for the prestigious Carnegie
