Details

When Blue Baker's father dies, Blue begins writing stories about a wild, vicious boy he calls the savage. "When I drew him and wrote about him, I could see him, I could hear him, I could smell him. Sometimes it was nearly like I was him and he was me." The stories make Blue feel better, especially when he writes about the savage threatening Hopper, a local bully-but then Blue realizes that the savage has come to life. Full-color art done in ink and Adobe Photoshop.

His school counselor, Mrs. Molloy, suggests that Blue write about his feelings. This writing leaves Blue dissatisfied, so he begins instead to write about a savage living in a cave under a ruined chapel in Burgess Woods who kills and eats anyone who sees him. Blue is surprised when the savage becomes real, seeking out the bully Hopper and beating him while he sleeps. Then Blue meets the savage—who looks like Blue—and discovers that the savage has been drawing pictures of Blue and his family. Topics Writing. Savages. Death. Grief. Bullies. Empathy. Pig farms.
