A review by yellowhighwaylines
The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas by David Almond

4.0

Typical Almond - lyrical, heartfelt, and the right balance between darkness and whimsy. For slightly younger readers than some of his others, this at times features direct addressing of the audience, reminiscent of Dahl at times. Almond can be an acquired taste, but I certainly enjoy his work. The illustrations and title text from Oliver Jeffers were a lovely addition.
