Moving. Funny. Explosive. And most of all, unexpected . . . As powerful as Frank Cottrell Boyce's Millions. My dad was killed in the 9/11 attacks in New York. But the stuff in this book isn't about that. It's about the summer my mum went away. The summer that me and Jed and Priti tried to catch a suicide bomber and prevent an honour killing.

An excellent read' - Anthony McGowan `Astonishing, inventive . . . A remarkable piece of work' - Books for Keeps
