At least it is for Blue, since his dad died and Hopper, the town bully, started knocking him and the other kids around. But Blue's story has a life of its own -- weird and wild and magic and dark -- and when the savage pays a nighttime visit to Hopper, Blue starts to wonder where he ends and his creation begins.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Remarkable." -- THE TIMES (U.K.) -- Times, The (UK) <p/>"An extremely touching and cleverly conceived story of how wounds can gradually heal." -- THE IRISH TIMES -- Irish Times, The<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Almond</b>, the author of <i>My Dad's a Birdman</i>, illustrated by Polly Dunbar, is known worldwide for his novels <i>Skellig</i>, <i>Kit's Wilderness</i>, <i>Heaven Eyes</i>, and <i>The Fire Eaters</i>.
