I have been doing a little research online into illustrated 'young adult' fiction books and I came across these amazing illustrations by Jim Kay. They are for the book A Monster Calls, by Patrick Ness. I had never heard of the book but these dark and somewhat sinister images caught my eye and it really makes me want to read it. I'm going to have to find this book at the weekend. The description says it is a story of a young boy struggling with nightmares and the fear of losing a loved one. These themes of nightmares and fear are also apparant in The Book Thief.
Liking the double page spread. Might have to experiment with that.
