The Knife of Never Letting Go
Overview & Summary
In a colony where every thought of every man and creature is broadcast aloud as constant "Noise," young Todd Hewitt is the last boy in his town who hasn't yet come of age -- until he discovers a patch of eerie silence in the swamp that turns out to be a girl, upending everything he's been told about his world and forcing him to flee for his life. Patrick Ness's novel is a relentlessly paced, morally complex dystopian adventure and the first in the Chaos Walking trilogy.
