Bone Talk

Small Pre-loved Hardcover

Samuel lives in a tribe deep in the Philippine jungle at the end of the nineteenth century, and has never encountered anyone from outside his own tribe before.

A strange man with white skin arrives in his village, and Samuel discovers the brother he never knew he had. A brother who tells him of people called Americans. Americans who are bringing war, and burning, to Samuel’s home.

Bone Talk provides a unique perspective on growing up from the point of view of a boy in a remote tribal community.

About the publisher, David Ficking Books: We’re new – but we’ve been around for a while! For nearly twelve years DFB has been run as an imprint – first as part of Scholastic, then of Random House. Now we’ve set up as an independent business – joining our separate but sister company, which publishes the new children’s comic The Phoenix, to form a DFB Storyhouse.
