Counting Stars by David Almond

His first novel, 'Skellig' won David Almond critical acclaim and several awards. His second and third books, 'Kit's Wilderness' and 'Heaven Eyes', established him as an author of unique insight and skill. In 'Counting Stars', he tackles the themes common to his work - joy, darkness, love, death and identity - with exquisite sensitivity and tenderness. David's childhood in the north of England was the inspiration for much of his work, and in these beautiful stories he creates a tangible picture of growing up in a large Catholic family. But the sense of mystery and wonderment we have come to expect from David is also present, and it is fascinating to see the kernels of his novels revealed. It is a must-read for Almond fans everywhere. This 2001 Hodder Children's Books Paperback is in good condition.
