An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.
I associate Jon Klassen work with delicious dark humor, originality and beautiful art. The Skull is no different. Retelling of a Tyrolean Folktale, it is the story of an unexpected friendship, a growing experience for Otilla, the young heroine, and a dark gothic tale that will make young readers shiver with excitement and anticipation.
