Fantastic Fiction Authors A David Almond Search Authors Search Books About David Almond Top “I grew up in a big extended Catholic family [in the north of England]. I listened to the stories and songs at family parties. I listened to the gossip that filled Dragone’s coffee shop. I ran with my friends through the open spaces and the narrow lanes. We scared each other with ghost stories told in fragile tents on dark nights. We promised never-ending friendship and whispered of the amazing journeys we’d take together. I sat with my grandfather in his allotment, held tiny Easter chicks in my hands while he smoked his pipe and the factory sirens wailed and larks yelled high above. I trembled at the images presented to us in church, at the awful threats and glorious promises made by black-clad priests with Irish voices. I scribbled stories and stitched them into little books. I disliked school and loved the library, a little square building in which I dreamed that books with my name on them would stand one day on the shelves. Skellig, my first children’s novel, came out of the blue, as if it had been waiting a long time to be told. It seemed to write itself. It took six months, was rapidly taken by Hodder Children’s Books and has changed my life. By the time Skellig came out, I’d written my next children’s novel, Kit’s Wilderness. These books are suffused with the landscape and spirit of my own childhood. By looking back into the past, by re-imagining it and blending it with what I see around me now, I found a way to move forward and to become something that I am intensely happy to be: a writer for children.”

home page writers toolkit secret passages David Almond David Almond was brought up in a small town called Felling on the edge of the River Tyne. He grew up in a big Catholic family and was always surrounded by lots of relatives and friends. He was an altar boy in the local church and his childhood was full of singing and stories. David always wanted to be a writer. He disliked school, especially after he was 13, but loved the local library and dreamed that one day there would be books with his name on the cover standing on the shelves. David was a teacher but he wanted to be a writer so much that he gave up his job, sold his house and went off to live in a writers' commune so that he could write full-time. His first book took five years to write and was sent to 33 publishers, all of who rejected it. David then started writing short stories and radio plays which were much more successful. Out of the blue came Skellig, David's first children's book. It was an immediate success winning the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Award. Before it was published, David had already finished his second book, Kit's Wilderness, and almost immediately started writing the third, Heaven Eyes. David lives not far from where he was brought up with his partner, Sara Jane, and their daughter Freya. He writes in a little room at the back of the house where he cannot be too easily distracted. He supports Newcastle United but fears that he'll never see them win the FA Cup!

Reviewer: Andrea (Typed by Janet) Date: Rating (5 * is best) Bibliographic Entry: Almond, David. Secret Heart New York: Delacorte Press, 2001. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes, because it is exciting and fun to read. Describe your favorite scene in the book and explain why you chose that particular incident. My favorite scene was when Corrinnia and Joe dance under the stars like when they were both just kids. How does the title of the book fit into the story? I don't think it really does fit but I know that the author had a meaning for it. Name the main character, then describe how he or she is like (or unlike) people you know. The main character is Joe. He is a lot like my friends because he goofs off a lot and he loves tigers. Back to Authors Back to Titles Back to Reviewers Home

This is the iron age, But let us take heart Seeing iron break and bud, Seeing rusty iron puff with clouds of blossom. The almond-tree, December's bare iron hooks sticking out of earth. The almond-tree, That knows the deadliest poison, like a snake In supreme bitterness. Upon the iron, and upon the steel, Odd flakes as if of snow, odd bits of snow, Odd crumbs of melting snow. But you mistake, it is not from the sky; From out the iron, and from out the steel, Flying not down from heaven, but storming up, Strange storming up from the dense under-earth Along the iron, to the living steel In rose-hot tips, and flakes of rose-pale snow Setting supreme annunciation to the world. Nay, what a heart of delicate super-faith, Iron-breaking, The rusty swords of almond-trees. Trees suffer, like races, clown the long ages. They wander and are exiled, they live in exile through long ages Like drawn blades never sheathed, hacked and gone black

Books by David Almond HEAVEN EYES THE FIRE-EATERS by David Almond Delacorte Press ISBN: 0385731701 Ages 8-up 224 pages Read an Excerpt Bobby Burns has lived his entire life in the small coastal town of Keely Bay, but in the autumn of 1962 he finds that his life is changing. He is going to a new preparatory school, leaving his old friends and the village school behind. He suspects his father may be sick. The Cuban Missile Crisis is raging in America, threatening the entire world with nuclear annihilation. He is also meeting new people. There is McNulty, a fire-eater and escapologist whose mind was unhinged in WWII. There is Daniel, the new kid in town, who looks down on Keely Bay's working class inhabitants. Then there are the cruel teachers at Bobby's new school, who resort to beatings when they feel children don't know their place. Together, Bobby and Daniel mount a protest against the barbaric practice of strapping. The potential price of expulsion seems insignificant compared to the protests against nuclear war they see on television. When Bobby asks his father about the rioting, he answers, "That's just people doing what they should do, making their voice heard, yelling against what they know is wrong." David Almond's books often deal with themes of faith and redemption. THE FIRE-EATERS contains both of these elements, along with a reverence for even the most damaged lives. The night when nuclear war is averted, Bobby, his family, McNulty and the neighbors gather on the beach, eating, drinking and trying to spend time together with the people and places they love before the world ends, or changes forever.
