Abstract

This article focuses on the formally innovative ways that Katherine Rundell’s The Girl Savage (2011) and David Almond’s My Name is Mina (2010) represent alternative education. This innovation is interpreted as essential to texts that partially succeed in resisting a mainstream education that is associated with dominant ideology and the realist form of linear narrative.
