''The Girl with All The Gifts meets To Kill A Mockingbird''

Claire North, author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

''It''s quite rare to find a story with this much heartbreaking impact . . . this is skilful, powerful stuff'' SciFiNow

THEY CALL IT THE PLAGUE

A generation of children born with extreme genetic mutations

THEY CALL IT A HOME

But it''s a place of neglect and forced labour

THEY CALL HIM A FREAK

But Dog is just a boy who wants to be treated as normal

THEY CALL THEM DANGEROUS

They might be right

The story of a lost generation, and a boy who just wants to be one of us.

''Without a doubt one of the best books I''ll read this year . . . a compelling work of near perfection'' Bracken MacLeod

''This is not a kind book, or a gentle book, or a book that pulls its punches. But it''s a powerful book and it will change you'' Seanan McGuire
