Treacle Walker, Alan Garner
What an absolute treat of a book.
A short novel (135 pages) packed full of two really wonderful main characters and a surreal delight on every page.
Had not read any work by this author before although the sleeve notes point out Garner as 'one of our greatest living novelists'. I must look out for more of his work if this treat is anything to go by.
Reading it I was struck about how great this would be for a lower secondary school class as a class novel. Lots to enjoy, discuss and learn about/from.
