''Blood Family'' is the companion novel to Anne Fine's ''The Devil Walks''. Both books feature a boy locked away from the world and what happens when he is rescued. ''The Devil Walks'' is a Gothic shiver tale, set in the past but ''Blood Family'' is a contemporary story, exploring what happens to children who have been abused and how their lives are affected.
