Synopsis
Will Hodge's life is a mess! His mother is dead, he has no friends and he thinks he is being followed by a strange group of people who tell him they know him. But Will can't remember them ...at first. And when he does he doesn't like what he can remember. While Will is struggling with unsettling memories, he learns that his past is a lot deeper than many people's, and he has to find out if he is strong enough to break links with the powerful hold that history has on him. This compelling novel, set in alternate future, challenges readers to consider the role we all have to play in making our society, and asks how much we are prepared to stand up for what's right.

ReplyDeleteThat does sound good. I hadn't heard of it before. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGemma Malley comes up with some great premises! Hope the execution is better than The Declaration (which I liked, but didn't love).
