Kit's Wilderness by David Almond (Location: Fic Al)
|
"I recommend Kit's Wilderness because it's full of adventure and suspense! It's about a boy and his mom who move to an old mining town to care for Kit's grandfather. Kit then gets involved with a mysterious rebel named Askew and his game called 'Death.' Kit meets a girl who is also involved. They go through a lot together, until one day Kit and Askew disappear. Are they just kidding around, or is Askew's game really what it's called, 'Death?' If you like adventure and suspense, check this book out." | |
