nitroglycerin 's review for:

The Colour of the Sun by David Almond
4.0
adventurous mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It’s cliche to describe something we coming of age, but this is a coming of age novel of a boy becoming a teen, growing up, learning how life really is etc. 

I picked this because Almond is a local author to the north east, and this book is set in the Tyneside area which is an immediate draw for me.
