Описание:

An enchanting modern take on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice from David Almond, award-winning author of "Skellig, " that takes readers from the joy of first love to the gates of Death and beyond.
Claire and Ella and their friends are bound by ties so strong they seem unbreakable. Then the strange and handsome Orpheus strolls onto the beach, and he sings them all into an astonishing new understanding of themselves. Ella is caught the hardest, fastest, deepest and Claire feels the pain of looking on.
Raw, emotional, lyrical, funny, and true, "A Song for Ella Grey" is a tale of modern teenagers and their joys, troubles, and desires. It s a story of first love, a love that draws on ancient mythic forces. A love that leads Ella, Orpheus, and Claire to the pits of Hell and back.

Innovative and dreamlike. "School Library Journal, " Starred Review
Almond s lyrical narrative will sweep readers on a journey to unearthly, mysterious realms and back. "Publishers Weekly, " Starred Review
David Almond s books are strange, unsettling wild things unfettered by the normal constraints of children s literature, beyond classification. "The Guardian"
Almond s . . . prose seeps into your blood like word venom until you can t imagine reading anything else. "The Times" (London)
Almond brings his hypnotic lyricism to this darkly romantic tale that sings of the madness of youth, the ache of love, and the near-impossibility of grasping death. "Kirkus Reviews"
Captures the heady rush of reckless youth. Readers will likely be transfixed. "Booklist""

Описание: "A buoyant, delightfully Almond-ine coming-of-age novel about fish, fate, and family; moonlight, madness, and myth; runts, "Rackanruwin" and, finally, redemption." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

When Stanley Potts's guardian, Uncle Ernie, develops an unhealthy obsession with fish, Stan has no choice but to strike out on his own. Far from the life he knows, he's welcomed by a carnival of eccentric characters, including the legendary Pancho Pirelli, the man who swims with piranhas. Will Stan, too, be bold enough to dive into the churning waters and choose his destiny? Full of wry wordplay and visual whimsy, David Almond's quirky tale is richly matched by Oliver Jeffers's black-and-white illustrations.

Описание: Fourteen-year-old Davie and his best friend, Geordie, are altar boys at their local Catholic Church. They're full of mischief, but that all changes when Stephen Rose comes to town. Father O'Mahoney thinks it would be a good idea for Davie and Geordie to befriend him--maybe some of their good nature will rub off on this unhappy soul. But it's Stephen who sees something special in Davie.

Stephen's a gifted sculptor. One day as Davie looks on, Stephen brings a tiny figure to life. It's a talent he has, the gift of creation--and he knows that Davie has this talent, too. Davie allows Stephen to convince him to help bring a life-size figure to life--and Clay is born. Clay is innocent, but Stephen has special plans for him.

What has Davie helped to unleash on the world?
