Monsters

The Reckoner, Book 2

By: David A. Robertson

Narrated by: Malcolm Sparrow-Crawford

Cole Harper is struggling to settle into life in Wounded Sky First Nation. He may have stopped a serial killer, but the trouble is far from over. A creature lurks in the shadows of Blackwood Forest, the health clinic is on lockdown by a mysterious organization, and long-held secrets threaten to bubble to the surface. Can Cole learn the truth about his father's death? Why won't Choch give him a straight answer? Where the heck is Jayne? Oh, and high school sucks.

Monsters is the second novel in David A. Robertson's The Reckoner trilogy.

Critic reviews

"The ending...is so unexpected that readers will eagerly anticipate a third volume. A satisfying continuation of a moody, stylish series." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Robertson’s knack for writing distinct teenage voices also provides important character development - a tough requirement for the middle volume of any trilogy, in which plot resolution is usually minimal. The dialogue between Cole and his friends also uncovers the different ways in which folks grieve both those they’ve lost and the culture they’ve left behind." (Winnipeg Free Press)
