Todd Hewitt lives in Prentisstown, where every man's thoughts can be heard in the constant disturbance called Noise. He has grown up believing that the world around him is understood and that the absence of women has a simple explanation. Then he discovers an impossible patch of silence, and everything he has been taught begins to come apart. Forced to flee with his dog Manchee, Todd encounters a girl whose existence changes the meaning of his escape. Patrick Ness opens the Chaos Walking trilogy with an urgent adventure about truth, violence and the painful movement towards adulthood, following two young people pursued by men determined to keep their secrets intact.
