The Lovereading comment:
A brilliant and powerful novel from the highly-acclaimed author of Breathe Cliff McNish. It’s a novel about obsession, a theme that will strike strong chords with tween and teenage readers and also about family, friends, school and bullying. With all the originality and inventiveness of McNish's vividly realised fantasy worlds – angels and angelic powers - it also combines almost seamlessly with a contemporary and realistic setting.
