"A book that will appeal to adults and teenagers which will be remembered long after the reader turns the last page."
Exciting, intriguing and gripping, this beautifully written book captures the reader and their imagination from the outset. The descriptions of characters, events and settings enables you to fully visualise and identify with them. Many complex issues are referenced - adoption, fostering, broken families, death, birth, homelessness, drugs, DNA experiments, genetics, technology - together with warnings of potential outcomes. A worrying glimpse into the future or a frightening observation of today? A book that will appeal to adults and teenagers which will be remembered long after the reader turns the last page.
