Kit's Wilderness

I listened to this on tape during my evening walks. It was long. I ended up wishing I'd read it in print as it was quite poetic and I'd have liked seeing the words on paper.

Kit's Wilderness

By David Almond

It was a haunting, eerie, bleak novel about teenage boys in contact with the spirits of their ancestors who'd been lost in coal mining disasters. I liked that all the main characters were creative, talented children. Kit's a writer, Alison is a dramatic wannabe professional actress, and John's an artist. Together they made quite a team.
