Extractions: ARTICLE David Almond says he had always wanted to be a writer. But along the way to becoming an award-winning short story author in his native England, Almond was also a "mailman, a brush salesman, an editor, and a teacher." Years after his success in writing fiction for adults, the idea for SKELLIG, his first novel for young people, came to him. That book, about a magical creature who changes the life of a boy, won England's prestigious 1998 Carnegie Medal as well as the 1998 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year award. When SKELLIG arrived on US shores last year (published by Delacorte), it was named a 2000 Michael L. Printz Honor Book, and received tons of other accolades.

Extractions: 3 Many, many children's books deal with a battle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. In Kit's Wilderness there is also a literal conflict between the underground darkness of the mine and the sunlight above. Were you conscious as you wrote that the pit-setting provided you with the perfect metaphor, and did you have to guard against drawing too-obvious parallels.

Extractions: I sat with my grandfather in his allotment, held tiny Easter chicks in my hands while he smoked his pipe and the factory sirens wailed and larks yelled high above. I trembled at the images presented to us in church, at the awful threats and glorious promises made by black-clad priests with Irish voices. I scribbled stories and stitched them into little books. I disliked school and loved the library, a little square building in which I dreamed that books with my name on them would stand one day on the shelves.

http://www.teenreads.com/reviews/0385326653.asp

Extractions: ISBN: 0385326653 In this eerie follow-up to Almond's SKELLIG we meet another group of characters struggling to make sense of some dark realities in their lives. Their complex journeys toward understanding are riddled with mystery, history, death, and magic. Throughout his adventures, Kit confides in and finds support from his neighbor and friend Allie Keenan. Together, they discover more about John Askew's troubled life. And Kit comes to understand how his connection to the mining spirits has helped him secure his place in the world above-ground. This novel may be a little more challenging than most, but you'll be well-rewarded by Almond's rich storytelling. - Reviewed by Shannon Maughan
