The Colour of The Sun

£7.99

One hot summer morning, Davie steps boldly out of his front door. The world he enters is very familiar – the little Tyneside town that has always been his home – but as the day passes, it becomes ever more dramatic and strange. A boy has been killed, and Davie thinks he might know who is responsible. As he turns away from the gossip and excitement and sets off roaming towards the sunlit summit at the top of the town, where the real and imaginary world begin to blur.

  • Additional information

A darkly twisted detective ghost tale, from the winner of the Guardian Children’s Book Prize.

Davie travels his small town in search of a supposed murderer. But the landscape soon starts to blur into something dark and twisted.

He must make sense of the landscape, if he has any chance of finding answers. The people he encounters on his travels don’t seem entirely real either. Then he meets the victim of the murder … but, is he dead, or alive?
