Happy to find this book as it was his summer reading assignment for school.  He finished it in two days and really liked the story, although it was creepy! :D

    Frankenstein Goes Clay-mation
  

*by K***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2007*

Here's an odd book -- YA, but more rightly coined a book about teens for adults -- that will certainly NOT appeal to reluctant readers.  In fact, David Almond's CLAY features Northern England dialect and themes about good and evil that are a challenge for readers, and even though it is said that girls will read books written for boys (though the opposite is not true), I wonder how many girls would actually read and enjoy this.One creepy read, CLAY follows the rough-and-tumble adventures of protagonist Davie (13) and his best pal Geordie, two altar boys in it for the tips who scrap with Protestant boys now and again, avoiding all the while the hulking and dangerous Protestant presence of one Martin Mouldy.Enter the dragon in the form of Stephen Rose (from who knows where).  Stephen's father is dead (by accident?), his mother mad (by design?), and he's sent to be brought up by the village madwomen herself, Crazy Mary.  Stephen Rose has a talent for sculpting "men" out of clay, and he's about to breath one to life, but needs Davie to help pull it off.  Davie (the good angel) and Stephen (the bad) become the "Masters" of Clay, a creature that echoes both his creators specifically and mankind in general, being a creature of both great promise and greater disappointment.  When a murder occurs after the monster's afoot, the novel takes on a life of its own.  Hypnotism?  Dreams?  Madness?  Reality?  The lines are deliberately blurred as Clay repeatedly wanders the landsccape and asks commands of its terrified master, Davie.As an adult reader, I was intrigued by this book.  I wouldn't buy it for my 8th-grade classroom library, though, because I don't believe it would fly.  I pull a star for two reasons -- Almond gets over-the-top melodramatic with Stephen's character at the climax, and some characters (especially Davie's romantic interest, Maria) seem "thrown in" and go nowhere after the promise of going somewhere (always an annoyance to readers).  If you're a fan of dead men walking, however, I suggest giving it a try.
