The Savage
Illustrated by Dave McKean.
Mysterious and utterly mesmerizing, this graphic-novel-within-a-novel pairs the extraordinary prose of David Almond with the visual genius of Dave McKean.
Blue
Baker is writing a story – not all that stuff about wizards and fairies
and happily ever after – a real story, about blood and guts and
adventures, because that's what life's really like. At least it is for
Blue, since his dad died and Hopper, the town bully, started knocking
him and the other kids around. But Blue's story has a life of its own –
weird and wild and magic and dark — and when the savage pays a
nighttime visit to Hopper, Blue starts to wonder where he ends and his
creation begins.
