They dream of the usual things, like school and adventure, until the nightmares begin . . . \u003cbr\u003eA sudden sickness has infected the young people of New World with Noise in the form of their worst thoughts about themselves. Some suspect the Spackle, the indigenous people with whom humans have a very uneasy truce. Others wonder about a connection to a mysterious object looming in the sky. And then, one by one, the children of New World begin to disappear. \u003cbr\u003eBen, with his mother's logical mind, and Max, with his father's courageous heart, become caught up in separate quests for answers, journeys that will test their beliefs in their parents, each other, and in their very existence on the planet. \u003cbr\u003ePatrick Ness makes a masterful return to New World in this timely work of science fiction, one that looks at the interplay of fear, power, and propaganda, and at the stories we tell ourselves.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Ness \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the critically acclaimed and best-selling Chaos Walking trilogy, as well as \u003ci\u003eChronicles of a Lizard Nobody\u003c\/i\u003e and it sequel, \u003ci\u003eChronicles of a Lizard Nobody: The Hat of Great Importance\u003c\/i\u003e.
