The Savage by David Almond

The Savage by David Almond

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Good, short read. About a boy who creates an alter ego to deal with the grief of losing his father. But somehow, truth and fiction sort of merge together. Blue, who is the main character in this story, is trying to deal with the loss of his father, while also dealing with a bully. He creates a character named "The Savage" whom he has do things that he wishes that he could do. By reading his story to his mother and little sister, it gives them an out to focus on. It makes them laugh during the times that they are really sad. This should be a great book for reluctant readers because it not that long and it does have illustrations.
