About this deal

Don’t they just?’ he agrees at once. ‘Every single one is an individual tribute to the art of the stonemason. Each humble tradesman or worker would have his own emblem to show his craft.’ He laughs. ‘Even a miller had one.’ He walks across to a very old stone. ‘Look, this one has a sheaf of corn and the weighing scales. Not that millers were very popular. It was a widely held belief that they were dishonest, taking more than was their due of the corn they ground.’

Whispers in the Graveyard - Theresa Breslin

Richard Conlon and Theresa Breslin adapted the novel as a play, which was published by Heinemann in 2009. I honestly do not really understand how (and why) Theresa Breslin was awarded the 1994 Carnegie Medal for her middle grade ghost story Whispers in the Graveyard (and that indeed some of the Carnegie nominees for 1994 I have read such as in particular Michael Morpurgo's Arthur High King of Britain are in my opinion vastly superior to Whispers in the Graveyard). For honestly, Breslin features in Whispers in the Graveyard (and in a short, choppy and majorly unflowing writing style that I for one can only actively despise) far too many and often even rather adversarial and contradictory plots and genres at the same same time and with the featured text thus at times even seeming almost inadvertently ironic and satiric, as Theresa Breslin's multiple story threads, themes and genres for Whispers in the Graveyard are not only majorly outline-like and feel more like a brainstorming exercise, in a supposedly finished and completed novel this also feels like nothing is actually taken sufficiently seriously (and with the literary mish-mash encountered in Whispers in the Graveyard also leading to multiple plotlines which frustratingly and annoyingly equally seem move and meander all over the place without really ever successfully and believably intersecting, mixing, and not to mention not coming to any decent conclusions either, or perhaps more to the point moving towards an ending for Whispers in the Graveyard that in fact makes little to no common sense and frustratingly unbelievable).

Solomon is dyslexic, but his teachers think he is inattentive and stupid. A primary grade teacher discovers his problem and she begins to work with Solomon. According to the author, her work as a librarian exposed her to "parents asking for books about dyslexia, for names of help groups, names of special tutors etc." She attended a local meeting of the British Dyslexia Association and recognised the pain and frustration of children, their families, and educators. She determined to write a book featuring a boy, in the first person and present tense. [5]

Whispers in the graveyard" (2007 Egmont edition). Library of Congress Catalog Record. Retrieved 10 September 2012. When I read it at school, I though it was a amazing book which made my heart beat. I don't want to give anything away but... There is a 12 yr old boy named Solomon who has Dyslexia (That's all I'm saying). Anyway, I thought it was a really good book which puts lots pictures to mind and leaves you on many cliff-hangers. Solomon has problems reading and writing… but he loves stories. One of his favourite places to be is an old graveyard in his home town where he looks at the monuments and carvings and make up his own stories in his head. But a new road is being built, the land is being cleared, and excavations have already started. The earth has been disturbed and Solomon senses that that something is wrong.

Whispers in the Graveyard' is also delightfully creepy for a book whose target audience I'd guess to be about 11-13ish. It’s very old,’ Professor Miller goes on, ‘one of the most fascinating places I have ever worked in.’
