Clay - David Almond

There’s a stranger in town – Stephen Rose.

He’s got waxy skin, haunting eyes, a sickly smell.

No parents. No friends. He’s come to live with Crazy Mary.

There are so many tales and rumours about him.

One thing’s 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?
