For readers of Michael Morpurgo and Katherine Rundell, from the author of the beloved Skellig.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe felt like a ghost. She woke in the night. What was that music? Sylvia has never been so far away. Her mother has brought her to this village, this place of silence and dark, endless forest, and she yearns for the city, the bright lights, her friends, even a phone signal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLate one night, she hears the music, a weird, jagged spiraling sound. It is played by Gabriel, a troubled, beautiful boy. Gabriel uses the strangest of flutes, a hollow bone. Play it well enough, he says, and you cross the borders between the living and the dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSylvia knows she'll follow him into the depths of the forest. But will they ever find their way out again?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for David Almond:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA master storyteller. Independent.
