As artillery echoes in the mountains, thirteen-year-old Matilda and her peers are riveted by the adventures of a young orphan named Pip in a city called London, a city whose contours soon become more real than their own blighted landscape. As Mr. Watts says, \"A person entranced by a book simply forgets to breathe.\" Soon come the rest of the villagers, initially threatened, finally inspired to share tales of their own that bring alive the rich mythology of their past. But in a ravaged place where even children are forced to live by their wits and daily survival is the only objective, imagination can be a dangerous thing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLloyd Jones was born in New Zealand in 1955.
