Blue Baker has been feeling pretty dark since his dad’s heart stopped suddenly one day. Urged by a school counsellor to work through his emotions by writing them down, he scribbles up a vivid imaginary world that starts to seep into real life. ‘Skellig’ author David Almond’s latest, ‘The Savage’ is a moving fable about loss, family, bullying, survival and the healing power of words. Heavy with brooding illustrations by Dave McKean, the book is aimed at ages 7+.
