There he was, below the bridge, half-naked, eyes blazing. He had a
pair of burning torches. He ran them back and forth across his
skin. He sipped from a bottle, breathed across a torch, and fire
and fumes leapt from his lips. The air was filled with the scent of
paraffin. He breathed again, a great high spreading flag of fire.
He glared. He roared like an animal. That summer, life had seemed
perfect for Bobby Burns. But now it's autumn and the winds of
change are blowing hard. Bobby's dad is mysteriously ill. His new
school is a cold and cruel place. And worse: nuclear war may be
about to start. But Bobby has a wonder-working friend called Ailsa
Spink. And he's found the fire-eater, a devil called McNulty. What
can they do together on Bobby's beach? Is it possible to work
miracles? Will they be able to transform the world? 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.
