Kit has just moved to Stoneygate with his family, to live with his
ageing grandfather who is gradually succumbing to Alzheimer's
Disease. Stoneygate is an insular place, scarred by its mining
history - by the danger and death it has brought them. Where the
coal mine used to be there is now a wilderness. Here Kit meets
Askew, a surly and threatening figure who masterminds the game
called Death, a frightening ritual of hypnotism; and Kit makes
friends with Allie, the clever school troublemaker. As Kit
struggles to adjust to his new life and the gradual failing of his
beloved grandfather, these two friendships pull him towards a
terrifying resolution. Haunted by ghosts of the past, Kit must
confront death and - ultimately - life. A stunning novel from the
author of the modern children's classic Skellig - winner of the
Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book Award. David
Almond is also winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.
