The New World


by Patrick Ness (Author)

Book Cover for The New World

Companion book
Pages: 36
This novella tells the story of how Viola came to where we found her in The Knife of Never Letting Go.

While the story takes place before the events in The Knife of Never Letting Go., it is best read immediately after that book because there are hints of things to come.

(I'm always hinting at things to come; it's fun). - Patrick Ness
