These stories each have a lesson and raise provoking questions for Conor that will also make readers think . The use of a medium like these simple stories, which are quite similar to folktales, is very effective. Though it includes the supernatural, this book is realistic and portrays school life particularly well. The characters are well crafted and each have a part to play in the story. Their conversations are real, they react to the situation just as people in their position would. Because of this, readers become very involved with the story. This book is heartrending and will make grief and loss real even for those who have never lost someone in their life. The inevitable ending is always at the back of readers' minds but when it comes it is sadder than ever. This poignant and moving story will make readers sad long after they have read the final page. I never usually cry in books or movies but this book had me on the verge of tears. The illustrations by Jim Kay are brilliant and surreal. Even pages that aren't fully illustrated will sometimes have a fragment of illustration. All in black and white, they are perfectly combined with the text and incredibly detailed. If you are planning on buying this book don't get the edition without the illustrations, they are an integral part of the book and it wouldn't be the same without them. I looked up Jim Kay's website for how he produced them and he tells fascinating tales of printing with feathers and breadboards amongst other things! A beautifully written and illustrated novel, it is highly recommended and will take you into another world. Want to tell the world about a book you've read? Join the site and send us your review!
