Kit's Wilderness by David Almond
3.0
David Almond's mixed use of family and local history as well as fantasy provides for an interesting experience for readers. What appeals is the gritty tone of the book, how the troubles that the characters experience cast a realistic shadow over the story. Combine that with the more fantastical elements of the book and it becomes even more engrossing.
John in particular is a fascinating and believable character. Nearly every small town has a kid like him, one people are quick to believe the worst of, and yet there are always a few that are inclined to stick around with him, who see something more.
I'd recommend this book to teens, especially male teens. The book's focus on the characters of John and Kit I think would especially appeal to boys looking for something without a bunch of "girly" aspects to the story.
VOYA codes: 3Q, 4P, J.
