BONE MUSIC - DAVID ALMOND TASCHENBUCH

This wonderful tale transports the reader from the city to the forests and fells of Northern
England. Under a boundless starry sky  the unforgettable Sylvia Carr reconnects with the
ancient past and discovers what it really means to be young in the world today. Sylvia  brave
hearted and rebellious  moves into wild Northumberland from the city of Newcastle. She feels
alien in this huge  silent  seemingly empty landscape  but then she meets Gabriel  a strange
yet familiar boy. As they roam the forests and fells together  she sees nature with new eyes.
She becomes aware that the past is all around her  and is deep inside herself. From the wing of
a dead buzzard  they create a hollow bone - the kind of flute that was created and used in
rituals in the distant past. This is a book of hope and joy - a book that celebrates humanity
and explores the deep connections between ourselves and nature. It is timely and original. It
speaks to young people about what it really is to be a human being alive today.
Spell-binding... impossible to resist... breathless  intoxicating prose. [Almond's] books seem
to exist in their own otherworldly universe  outside all the trends in modern publishing  yet
resolutely of the now. The Glasgow Herald David Almond's books are strange  unsettling wild
things - unfettered by the normal constraints of children's literature. They are  like all
great literature  beyond classification. The Guardian [David Almond] is that rare thing - a
writer of lucid  mature elegance  who can still see the world through adolescent eyes. The
Daily Telegraph A writer of visionary Blakean intensity. The Times A master storyteller. The
Independent
