Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Interest Age 14+ Reading Age 7+. Horror propels this dramatic but simply written story of what happens after Meg is given a hand transplant following an attack by a savage dog. Meg’s hand is ripped apart by Jet but when she comes round from her operation she finds she has a new hand. It looks harmless enough soon the hand takes terrifying actions of its own and Meg knows she must find out more about its original owner.

Hand Of Blood (gr8reads) by Charles ButlerIsn't it wonderful, the way we can make our own bodies do what we ask them to? Putting one foot in front of the other, catching a ball, even speaking - it's easy to forget just how amazing that is, because we do it all the time. I suppose we only notice when things begin to go wrong. When we miss our step, or stammer, or drop the easy catch - then, suddenly, our bodies can seem like strangers to us. At last we understand what a miracle the human body is. But by that time it's too late. We've lost control. The body has ideas of its own...
