Blurb:
There's a stranger in town - Stephen Rose. He's got waxy skin, haunting eyes, a sickly smell. No parents. No friends. He's came to live with Crazy Mary. There are so many tales and rumors about him. One things certain: there's magic in the weird creatures he makes with clay. Should Davie and Geordie keep away? Or should they get close? Could Stephen be an ally in their bitter struggle against monstrous Mouldy and his gang?
My Review:
I thought it was ... AMAZING!!! It was a truly inspirational, funny, strange, yet beautiful book. David Almond has managed to make a work of art out of the simplest words. It is powerful yet moving, strange yet compelling. Clay contains tragedy, hope, and extra-ordinary magic with discerning realism. I would easily give it a 20/10 for it's creativity and an overall score of 30/10 x)
See ya soon
