Themes: DNA/
Fantasy/ Grief/ Love stories/ Magical realism
An unknown killer is stalking her best friend – the aftermath
of a now decades old experiment that went horribly wrong. All
seventeen-year-old Evie wants is to be able to grieve for her dead mother and
to perhaps catch the eye of the wonderful Jamie. But Evie is a Sheild and she
doesn’t have a choice. Tense and accessible writing and a popular story line has
made this a book that girls from 12 up have been queuing for (I haven’t heard
if it has had the same effect on boys) since it came out last month. Two more
titles will complete the trilogy – Book Two Stray
and Book Three Shield.
Year 8 up/ Age 12 up
