Opis

'There's an empty notebook lying on the table in the moonlight. It's been there for an age. I keep on saying that I'll write a journal. So I'll start right here, right now.' This is the prequel to David Almond's debut novel 'Skellig' which was winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book Award.
