Imagine you wrote a story and that story came true. This is exactly what happens to Blue Baker when he writes about a savage living alone in the woods near his home. After his dad's death, Blue finds comfort in dreaming of a wild kid who survives on a diet of berries and the occasional hapless passer-by. But when the savage pays a night-time visit to the local bully, boundaries become blurred and Blue begins to wonder where he ends and the savage begins. Part novel, part graphic novel, this moving story features striking art from the award-winning Dave McKean.

"There really is nobody quite like Almond writing in children's or adult's fiction today." The Times" Blackwell review: Blue is writing a story about the Savage. Soon the Savage becomes real as the story gets a life of its own. Blue starts to wonder where he ends and the Savage begins. David McKean's amazing artwork perfectly complements this part-novel part-comic. Customer reviews:  Be the first to write a customer review
