About the Book

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. He’s about to become a man, and while he’s desperate to grow up, he’s worried that this will take him away from his best friend, Little Luki.However, Samuel’s world is about to change utterly. 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…

Review :
One of the standout titles of the year Very special Gourlay's evocative writing grips from the outset A master storyteller Vividly drawn ... mesmerising Exciting and action-packed A soulful coming-of-age story rich in Filipino myth and tradition, combined with a thrilling adventure of headhunters and invaders, asking powerful questions about community, colonialism and what it means to be a man Utterly engrossing. This sumptuously realised, age-old story of colonisation transports in time, culture, landscape and history. It will lodge deep in the bone long after these pages have been turned A wonderful novel ... will stay with me for a long time I loved Bone Talk. A really thoughtful and wonderful piece of storytelling A gripping adventure story and a fascinating piece of historical fiction but you never, ever forget that it's the story of Samkad, a boy you believe could be your friend. Highly recommended Totally transported to another time, another world. Utterly amazing book I was enthralled by Bone Talk I loved this book in so many ways. It's diverse, very challenging and really made me think. I feel as if I have lived every moment of the story ... This is a great young-adult read that strikes away from the norm. It certainly shook me from my reading perch as it was enjoyable on so many levels
