DAVID ALMOND
FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD DAVIE and his best friend, Geordie, are altar boys
at their local Catholic Church. They’re full of mischief until Stephen Rose, a
“troubled” boy who doesn’t make friends easily, comes to town. Father
O’Mahoney thinks it would be a good idea for Davie and Geordie to
befriend him—maybe some of their good nature will rub off on this
unhappy soul. But Stephen sees something special in Davie and begins to
unleash a world of evil.
★ “[A] decidedly creepy musing on the nexus between faith and reality,
good and evil, from a master.”—The Horn Book Magazine, Starred
★ “Readers will remain on the edge of their seats to find out if the good in
David can overcome unleashed evil.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred
