''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.

Other books that tackle the lifelong struggle faced by children who were abused include [[Nicholas Dane by Melvin Burgess]], which riffs on ''Oliver Twist'', and [[Solace of the Road by Siobhan Dowd]], which features a heartbreaking road trip and combines pathos with humour.
