Product description

A hard-hitting fusion of fiction and graphic art by Carnegie winner David Almond. Imagine you wrote a story, and it came true. This is what happens to Blue Baker when he writes about a savage living in the woods near his house. After his father’s death, Blue finds comfort in dreaming of a wild kid who survives on a diet of berries and the occasional hapless passer-by. But when the savage pays a night-time visit to the local bully, the boundaries of reality start to blur. Where does Blue end and the wild boy begin? Part novel and part graphic story, this stunning work features striking art from the award-winning illustrator Dave McKean.

“There really is nobody quite like Almond writing in children’s or adult’s fiction today.” The Times
