The Rest of Us Just Live Here By Patrick Ness

Walker Books Australia is excited to reveal the cover of the upcoming new release from award-winning and best-selling author Patrick Ness!

Award-winning writer Patrick Ness’s bold and irreverent novel powerfully asks what if you weren't the Chosen One? The one who's supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death? What if you were like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again. Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week’s end of the world and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life. Even if your best friend might just be the God of mountain lions... An exceptional novel from the author praised by John Green as "an insanely beautiful writer".

Patrick was interviewed by UK book blogger Rosianna Halse Rojas to celebrate the cover reveal. Click here to see Patrick talk about writing, gender, diversity in books and more!
