Kit's Wilderness
David Almond

spacer gif When Kit and his family move, Kit makes a new friend who takes him into the coal mines to look for ghosts and play a game called Death.

Start thinking:

While studying the Ice Age, Kit has to write a story about a caveman called Lak. How is Kit's life similar to his story of Lak? How is it different?

What is "the pit"? What does it represent?

What is the role of storytelling in Kit's Wilderness? What are the different ways storytelling is used?

Why did the author use the word "wilderness" in the title? What might he be saying is Kit's "wilderness"?
