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
