About this listen

Bobbye Jo and Lauren delve into The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness.


The Knife of Never Letting go is the first book in the Chaos Walking trilogy. It follows the journey of Todd Hewitt, the youngest boy in a town of only men, Prentisstown. They live on a planet called New World where the thoughts of its male residents can be heard aloud.


Todd is a month from officially becoming a man (at the age of 13) when a spaceship crashes, leaving Viola as the only survivor. Todd, Viola, and Todd’s dog Manchee escape Prentisstown as new truths reveal themselves. Their journey is a rough tumble through hard terrain and moral questions.
