Heaven Eyes by David Almond
Hodder Literature: a new and exciting series of literature titles for Key Stage 3 whole class use. Heaven Eyes tells the story of three orphans, Erin, January and Mouse who decide to run away from their orphanage. They escape on a raft and drift down the nearby river. Soon they run aground on a marshy area known as the Black Middens and are 'rescued' by Heaven Eyes, a strange girl who lives in a deserted factory with her Grampa. Heaven Eyes is very taken by her new 'brothers and sisters' but Grampa is a great deal more hostile and suspicious. Soon, secrets begin to be unearthed. Who is Heaven Eyes? And whose is the body that Mouse digs up in the Black Middens? A truly haunting story combining magic realism with completely believeable relationships.
