Heaven Eyes

Young Adult General Fiction

David Almond’s Heaven Eyes appears here in a scarce 2000 first-edition bound proof, the kind marked “Not for Resale” and never intended for shops. This paperback carries 216 pages of Almond’s haunting young-adult drama, following three runaways who drift downriver to the mud-choked reaches of the abandoned printing works and meet the ethereal Heaven Eyes.

The book shows light cover wear: a curl to the front, a single crease on the back corner, yet the pages remain clean, unmarked, and free of smoke odour. As a vintage proof it offers a glimpse into the novel’s pre-publication life, perfect for readers who enjoy owning a piece of literary history without paying fine-press prices.

Ideal for teenagers and adults alike, this standalone novel explores friendship, loss, and redemption against a backdrop of decaying industry and tidal sands. Almond’s lyrical prose and atmospheric setting have earned him comparison to masters of modern myth, and early editions are increasingly hard to find in any condition.

Secure this gently carried copy to complete your David Almond shelf or to introduce a new reader to the author’s award-winning world.
