It is about a boy, Stanley, who runs away from home and joins the circus. ReceptionA BookTrust review of The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas wrote "Full of surreal, fairy-tale touches, this is an joyful and warm story of self-discovery, perfectly accompanied by the quirky illustrations by Oliver Jeffers."[1] and The Guardian wrote "Almond has produced a circus ride of a story, with thrills and spills and all the fun of the fair."[2] Publishers Weekly called it "Bold, imaginative, and funny"[3] and a Kirkus Reviews starred review wrote "Almond’s wonderstruck philosophical bent, earthy humor, lovely use of language and colorful characters keep readers swimming along, as does the personable narrator who playfully demands an examination of the storytelling process as it happens. Jeffers’ spare, cartoonish pencil sketches perfectly suit the salty, magical tale."[4]The Boy Who Swam With Piranhas has also been reviewed by Booklist,[5] Library Media Connection magazine,[5] The Horn Book Magazine,[5] The School Library Journal,[5] Reading Time,[6] School Librarian,[7] and The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books,[8]It was on the 2013 Blue Peter Book Award shortlist for Best Story[9] and the 2013 Guardian Children's Fiction Prize shortlist.[10] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.booktrust.org.uk/books/view/32464 |title=The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas |website=booktrust.org.uk |accessdate=19 December 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Boy Who Swam With Piranhas, The}}2. ^{{cite news |last=Mason |first=Simon |date=1 September 2012 |title=The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas by David Almond – review |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/aug/31/boy-swam-piranhas-david-almond-review |newspaper=The Guardian |accessdate=19 December 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-7636-6169-4 |title=The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas |date=17 June 2013 |website=Publishers Weekly |publisher=PWxyz LLC|accessdate=19 December 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/david-almond/the-boy-who-swam-with-piranhas/ |title=The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas |date=7 July 2013 |website=Kirkus Reviews |publisher=Kirkus Media LLC |accessdate=19 December 2016}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://catalog.wccls.org/Mobile/BakerAndTaylor/Review?ISBN=9780763661694&UPC=9780763661694&position=1 |title=The Boy Who Swam With Piranhas: Reviews |website=catalog.wccls.org |accessdate=19 December 2016}} 6. ^{{cite journal |date=February 2013 |title=The Boy who Swam with Piranhas |url=http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/85785661/boy-who-swam-piranhas |journal=Reading Time |publisher=Children's Book Council of Australia |volume=57 |issue=1 |page=28 |accessdate=19 December 2016}} 7. ^{{cite journal |date=June 2013 |title=The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas |author=Louise Ellis-Barrett |url=http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/88776548/boy-who-swam-piranhas |journal=School Librarian |publisher=School Library Association |volume=61 |issue=2 |page=98 |accessdate=19 December 2016}} 8. ^{{cite journal |date=October 2013 |title=Almond, David.
