The End and Beyond-Hardcover

The boy drowned; He was hopeless and alone in his last moments. He died.

Then he woke up; He was naked, wounded and thirsty, but alive.

How could this happen? And where was this strange, abandoned place?

As he tried to figure out what was going on, the boy hoped. Couldn't this be the end? Could it be further or perhaps this was the afterlife?

“Patrick Ness is such a talented writer that it will blow your mind. Books are sometimes described as 'amazing', but this is rarely the case where you read 'Oh my God!' over and over again. One of the kind you mentioned. I won't give anything else away. Just read it.” – John Green

“Ness deftly plays with contrasts: death and life, secrecy and exposure, guilt and innocence.” – Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) -
