Colour of the Sun (The)

The Colour of the Sun by David Almond
From the bestselling author of Skellig comes a moving, funny, and inspirational novel about life, change, and the mysteries that surround us. One hot summer morning, Davie steps out into his small Tyneside town, only to hear that a boy has been killed—and he thinks he might know who is responsible. Turning away from gossip, he wanders towards the sunlit hills, where the real and the imaginary begin to blur. Shortlisted for the 2018 Costa Book Awards, this warm and luminous story captures the wonder of being alive in a strange and beautiful world.
