Sinossi

David Almond is now known around the world as the author of the novels Skellig, Kit's Wilderness and The Savage. His first two books – Sleepless Nights (1985) and A Kind of Heaven (1997) – were published by Iron Press, a selection of which appears in Nesting alongside two previously unpublished tales. The stories draw deeply from the Tyneside estate of Almond's childhood, exploring the themes that would inform his later work, and displaying all the rhythm, lyricism and drive for which he is acclaimed today.

"A master storyteller."
The Independent

"There is nobody quite like Almond writing in adults' or children's fiction today. A writer of visionary, Blakean intensity."
The Times

"David Almond's books are strange, unsettling wild things. They are, like all great literature, beyond classification."
The Guardian
David Almond was born in Newcastle upon Tyne. His many awards include the Whitbread Children's Book Award (twice), the Carnegie Medal and the Hans Christian Andersen Award. My Name is Nina, the prequel to Skellig, was published in 2010. His books have been translated into over 40 languages, and adapted for both stage and screen. He now lives in Northumberland.

    The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. is held annually in remembrance of the first cherry tree planting on March 27, 1912. Now an international symbol of peace and friendship, the trees first came to the nation’s capital from Tokyo, Japan, at the insistence of Eliza Scidmore.  Able to live a life different from most women in the late 1800s, Scidmore was dedicated to her ideas. She had the opportunity to travel with family and friends and wrote the first guidebook about Alaska while there on a trip. Wanting to share her adventures with others, she became the first woman to write for the National Geographic Society. But throughout her travels, she never forgot about the Japanese cherry trees she had seen while visiting her brother in Tokyo. It took her more than twenty years, but with the help of the president’s wife, Mrs. Taft; a Japanese scientist; and a lot of faith, Scidmore’s dream of beautifying her hometown came true.

    Pemberton is a yellow, fuzzy Labrador Retriever-and he wants nothing more than to meet this "forever family" he's been hearing about! As a puppy, Pemberton is taken from his mother and brought to a puppy mill, where he desperately misses the comfort of being loved and cared for. When he's rescued by local shelter workers, he finds himself in a foster home for other dogs like him. While the older labs, Gus and Churchill, help Pemberton come out of his shell, he still longs to find a home where he truly belongs. One day, a family with a shy little boy comes to visit the foster home, and Pemberton thinks this just might be the "forever family" he's heard about . . . Heartwarming, emotional, and uplifting, this early reader's chapter book is sure to delight young puppy-lovers and speak to the need to belong in all of us.
