Kit's Wilderness X 6

Product Description

“ Do you abandon life?.. . Do you truly wish to die?” In the old mining town of Stoneygate, there is a wilderness – an empty space between the houses & the river where the old coal pit used to be. In the wilderness, as his grandfather’s memory begins to slip away, Kit meets rough, turbulent John Askew & his wild dog, Jax. Askew, who invites Kit to play the game called Death. Here, in a wilderness that has waited since prehistory, in long-hidden places where reality slips away, Kit will begin to confront both death – & life. A haunting, disturbing & starkly beautiful novel from David Almond, the author of Skellig. “ The best writing is the kind that defies categories, & Almond’s Kit’s Wilderness makes the grade.” The Times “ You can feel the chill from the ghosts that haunt its pages.” The Daily Telegraph Supplied as a pack of six copies. secondary-092017 reading-spine-year-8 reading-spine-ks 3 rbmember summer-18 sum-18
