Who would you trust to save the world...a boy or a billionaire?
The earth has shifted on its axis and a mysterious dark mark has appeared on the sun - the whole world is in peril! But billionaire tech genius Howard Hansom has a plan...
When Grian's sister goes missing he's convinced she has run off to Hansom's new city to help save the world. But when Grian and his two friends Jeffrey and Shelli track her there they find that nothing is quite as it seems.
Why is everything so secret? Where is the mysterious Area 13? What does Howard Hansom want with all the people he has enticed to live in his city?
The days are getting darker but what's really happening to the sun?
An eco story that doesn't hit us over the head with the moral!
Grian is a great point of view for this story, brave but not sure of it, open minded and willing to take a chance on people. He's also clever enough to notice things and put them together into a larger picture. His sidekicks are a fantastic group as well, completely diseperate but able to work together when it's necessary.
I'm making this sound very dry, but it's actually really funny, even dealing with the (possible) end of the world as it is! I laughed out loud several times as I was reading, and I think young readers will really enjoy it as well. (Do note that it's the first of a trilogy, so the story doesn't end in this volume, although it does reach a relatively good stopping point.)
A fantastic read, and I can't wait to read the others in the series to see how things will work out from here.
