iBoy

Author: Kevin Brooks

Before the attack, sixteen-year-old Tom Harvey was just an ordinary boy.

But now fragments of a shattered iPhone are embedded in his brain and it's having an extraordinary effect . . .

Because now Tom has powers. The ability to know and see more than he could ever imagine. And with incredible power comes knowledge – and a choice. Seek revenge on the violent gangs that rule his estate and assaulted his friend Lucy, or keep quiet?

Tom has control when everything else is out of control. But it's a dangerous price to pay. And the consequences are terrifying . . .

'The absolutely fascinating book, 'iBoy' by Kevin Brooks is a very entertaining, thrilling and interesting book. It follows the exciting and action packed life of 'Tom Harvey' for a short time. It also shows how when his skull is cracked by an iPhone and little fragments of the phone sink into his brain, it has some incredible results'! By Isaac / Spinebreakers Crew

'This is the best book for teenaged boys I've read since Anthony McGowan's The Knife That Killed Me, and one of the most important. Yes, it's a fantasy, but it's real power as serious literature is drawn from a reality that few adult novelists have the stomach to address. Bravo!' Amanda Craig, The Times

Dawn Bundy is fifteen. She doesn't fit in and she couldn't care less.

Dawn has other things on her mind. Her dad disappeared two years ago and it's all God's fault.

Dad was smiling too.
And he had a Bible in his hand.

God, his eyes.
