 the
publisher says...
"You're not paranoid if they really are
after you.
Someone is messing with Liam's world. All the
rules have changed and his life has unravelled completely.
He can't even trust his own memories.
What he does know is that someone is watching
him. Someone thinks he's dangerous.
Liam has to fight back. There are no bystanders
in this terrifying game. Only players and victims.
And Liam isn't going to be a victim."
reviewers say...
"The king of children's horror..."
Sunday Express
"If you're into completely out-there thrillers
this is for you. Mind readers, brain implants, mad professors
- this one's got the lot." Flipside Magazine
"A contemporary thriller with overtones
of Orwell and Huxley about it." Rhyl Journal
"A gripping read for the older teens/young
adult age range. You would not wish to swap places with Liam
Connor!" Children's Books UK
the author says...
"I want to play mind games with you. I
want to force you to doubt everything and then, when at last
you feel sure, I want to pull the rug out from under your
feet. Again.
This was a tough one to write, and I was especially
nervous when I sent it in to my editor at Puffin. What would
she think?
I knew I'd got it right when she e-mailed me:
'YOU ARE SERIOUSLY MESSING WITH MY HEAD! And you look such
a nice, fresh-faced young man - who could guess what tortured
evils lurk beneath?'
Heh heh heh..."
