Three teenagers are working on developing
something extra special for the upcoming Science Fair – a device that could
solve the whole world’s energy problems. But, it comes with a price – someone
may have to die to produce it. This is classic Des Hunt writing - a topical, believable and fast moving
plot/ young people who speak as you would hear them in any playground or
railway station (well, perhaps toned down a little),
tension and a thought provoking ending. There is also a brown and white English
Springer spaniel called TC. This will be popular reading for both boys and
girls (and for Des’s many adult readers…)
Year 7 up/ Age 11 up
*this was available in November but for some reason I missed the early announcement.
