More Than This
by Patrick Ness
More Than This opens in the last, few precious moments of a life. How can there be more than this? Oh, but there is! A boy wakes up after he was certain he was dead and comes face to face with the stuff of nightmares: he is alone in a bombed-out, empty world and, perhaps worst of all, he relives his life's most painful moments every time he falls asleep. Grappling with guilt and shrouded in loneliness, he must struggle to survive in this empty new world when he thought all his struggles were finally over. More Than This is a philosophical and suspenseful dystopian novel that asks its readers to consider: Is there more to this life? (14 and up)
