One of my favourite dystopian series of books has been made into a movie, set for release this year and starring Tom Holland. The Chaos Walking books by Patrick Ness are not only one of my favourites but the only series of books read by my youngest son - now a vet. I know he will also watch the movie because the main character's dog is a border terrier the same as his own.
Chaos Walking is set sometime in the future. An alien race known as the Spackle have infected all of humankind with a virus called the Noise germ. This killed off all the women and left men and animals able to hear each others thoughts. The books are brilliantly written and Patrick Ness has an amazing imagination. The books are exciting and at times immensely sad and the emotions portrayed and the sheer nerve jangling tension make the books well worth reading before you see the movie.
The books in the series are: The knife of never letting go, The ask and the answer, Monsters of men. These are available from the Library, once the school reopens.
In the meantime here is the movie trailer to watch
