(2) YA Illustrated by Dave McKean. After his father's death, Blue Baker writes a story about a savage kid. The line between fantasy and reality blurs when the savage visits a bully who has been hounding Blue. This illustrated novella, a graphic novel within a novel, will satisfy Almond's fans and newcomers alike. McKean's illustrations--ink and watercolor in black, blues, and greens--add an appropriately eerie touch.
