I think this because Connor didn't show much emotion, and it is all bottled up within him, and it's all coming out on his grandma's furniture because she is taking him in, and giving him very little space to do what he wants.

That Conor's dream is something that has started along with his mom's treatments because the monster might resemble the cancer his mom has because it keeps trying to take him and it scares him.

I think this book is great for all ages  ten and up, because it has great meaning, like for the nightmare,  I believe it is his mom who he can't hold on to. Also, I like a good book like this that has long chapters, because it is more to read for one sitting.
