Items related to The Ask and the Answer: Chaos Walking: Book Two
Part two of the literary sci-fi thriller follows a boy and a girl who are caught in a warring town where thoughts can be heard — and secrets are never safe.
Reaching the end of their tense and desperate flight in THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO, Todd and Viola did not find healing and hope in Haven. They found instead their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss, waiting to welcome them to New Prentisstown. There they are forced into separate lives: Todd to prison, and Viola to a house of healing where her wounds are treated. Soon Viola is swept into the ruthless activities of the Answer, aimed at overthrowing the tyrannical government. Todd, meanwhile, faces impossible choices when forced to join the mayor’s oppressive new regime. In alternating narratives — Todd’s gritty and volatile; Viola’s calmer but equally stubborn — the two struggle to reconcile their own dubious actions with their deepest beliefs. Torn by confusion and compromise, suspicion and betrayal, can their trust in each other possibly survive?

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Patrick Ness is the author of the critically acclaimed and best-selling Chaos Walking trilogy, as well as the Carnegie Medal–winning A Monster Calls, inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd. Among the numerous awards he has received are the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, the Booktrust Teenage Prize, and the Costa Children’s Book Award. Born in Virginia, he lives in London.
The narration of this stunning dystopian tale by Nick Podehl and Angela Dawe can only be described as outstanding. The second installment of Ness's trilogy finds 13-year-old New World colonist Todd Hewitt and his friend, settler Viola Eade, at the mercy of self-proclaimed and manipulative President Prentiss. Together they must fight for their freedom and the preservation of the New World, but to do this, they need to find each other and then attempt to contact Viola's fellow settlers. Nick Podehl gives a pitch-perfect portrayal of the confused and fierce Todd; Angela Dawe portrays the frightened but determined Viola. Together, their performances create a stellar listening experience. K.O. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Text/NEW & Bright. First Edition, 4th Printing. Black linen boards/Fine. DJ/Fine. Award winning, young adult science fiction from dual citizen of Britain & America, author, journalist, lecturer & screenwriter Patrick Ness (1971 -). Story of colonization of space, social conflict, and physical frailties. In Book One, The Knife of Never Letting Go, we know Todd Hewitt was born in Prentisstown, a settlement on New World, a planet newly colonized by men from Earth, where boys become men at age 13, and Todd is but days short of manhood. Native inhabitants, the Spackles, were largely eradicated but did pass on a virus, very fatal to women (to which he lost his mother) --- known as the Noise, as it caused humans to hear, non-stop, one another's thoughts & those of animals. Todd & his dog Manchee discover a lone patch of silence --- a "hole in the Noise" so to speak, and meets up w/Viola Eade, a girl not yet infected by the Noise! In this grim sequel, totalitarian Mayor Prentiss of Haven city, renamed New Prentisstown, dominates. He enslaves remaining Spackles, keeps the cure for the Noise curtailed, and separates Todd & Viola. 519 pages. This episode is followed by Book Three, Monsters of Men (2010). Series has been adapted to film. Seller Inventory # 020504
