45. Interview | David Almond http//www.frontlinephonics.com. david almond sees himself as a realist and as the author of strongly realistic fiction for children and young teenagers. http://www.januarymagazine.com/profiles/almond.html

"You know, like when a kid reads a book, even though she's seen the book 25 times before, you turn the page and there's a sense of anticipation and surprise. You watch kids read especially young children they're very simple and elemental about stories. It's about a series of discoveries and uncoverings and opening of secrets and seeing what's on the next page." David Almond sees himself as a realist and as the author of strongly realistic fiction for children and young teenagers. And while there are no wizards or obvious magic in his novels from his wildly popular breakthrough novel Skellig to his most recent book, Heaven Eyes Almond places his realistic protagonists into situations tinged with mystical mysteries so subtle you're never sure if what you're reading is real or fabricated in the childish imaginations of his characters. Talking with David Almond, though, you get the feeling that all of this gentle mysticism might seem normal to the 50-year-old Newcastle author. Soft spoken and self-effacing, the author speaks gently about the gift that

Secret Heart - Book Review Kliatt Nov, 2002 by Paula Rohrlick Random House, Delacorte. 200p. c2002. 0-385-90065-1. $17.99. J Almond, author of the ALA Notable Books Skellig, Kit's Wilderness, and Heaven Eyes (as well as the recent memoir Counting Stars), offers another affecting, mysterious, and poetic story here in the tale of Joe, a dreamy boy who is out of place in his ugly English village. The other boys taunt him, and Joe frequently skips school to explore the fields, where he sees and hears things no one else can. One night he dreams about a tiger, and the next day a ragged circus comes to town. There he meets a young trapeze artist named Corinna, who befriends him and takes him to meet the blind seer Nanty Solo, who perceives that Joe is the only one who can release the soul of the circus's long-gone tiger into the forest when the circus comes to an end. Then they can all begin againCorinna, Nanty Solo, the aged but still powerful circus wrestler Hackenschmidt, and Joe and his loving mother, too. Almond sets a mystical mood, with powerful descriptions of nature, the tiger, and the circus, and his writing casts a spell over the reader. Imaginative readers who can appreciate the use of magical realism and the way in which the ordinary and the extraordinary mingle in Almond's writing will enjoy this haunting but ultimately happy tale.

Counting stars - Brief Article - Young Adult Review - Book Review Kliatt Jan, 2004 by Nola Theiss Random House. 205p. c2000. 0-440-41826-7. $5.99. JS This collection of stories about a young boy and his family in the Northeastern part of England begins with the author saying that all the stories are about him, and so, while the stories are fiction, the reader can feel the truth of them. The members of the narrator's family, living and dead, his neighbors, friends, priests and nuns all play important parts in his childhood. The stories flicker back and forth in time and perhaps the best story in the collection, "The Kitchen," captures the author's idea of time and memory. In that story, all the living characters, his dead sister Barbara, who, although she died in infancy, always remains an important member of the family and his father who died young gather in the family kitchen to eat toast and butter. They talk to each other about life before and after death and what heaven is, reaching deep into the memories of any thoughtful reader. While some stories are sentimental, Almond also tackles the tawdriness and meanness of events of his youth, giving a complete picture of a young boy's childhood and family. The combination of the stories is greater than any one story and while some can stand alone, they are best read as parts of a whole. Nola Theiss, Sanibel, FL

He still lives in the North East with his partner and daughter. "It was a place of ancient coal mines, dark terraced streets, strange shops, new estates and wild heather hills. Our lives were filled with mysterious and unexpected events, and the place and the people have given me many of my stories." He had different jobs after leaving school and was a teacher for many years. But he always wanted to be a writer. "As a boy I wrote stories and made them into little books. I loved the local library, and dreamed that books with my name on the covers would one day stand on the shelves". David Almond's first novel for children

In the same year it won the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year and the Carnegie Medal. It was also shortlisted for the Guardian Children's Fiction Award. His book 'Heaven Eyes', published by Hodder, was shortlisted for the 2000 Whitbread Book Award. His other books include 'Kit's Wilderness', 'Counting Stars and Other Stories', 'Secret Heart', a play 'Wild Boy, Wild Girl' and most recently 'The Fire-eaters'. David was born and grew up locally in a large Catholic family in a small steep town overlooking the River Tyne called Felling-on-Tyne. Of this town David says, "it was a place of ancient coal mines, dark terraced streets, strange shops, new estates and wild heather hills. Our lives were filled with mysterious and unexpected events, and the place and the people have given me many of my stories." For most of his writing career David was a teacher, firstly in a primary school, then as an adult literacy tutor, then as a teacher for children with learning difficulties. He went part time as a teacher in 1990 to spend more time on his writing.
