This game just got out of hand . . . A dangerously exciting thriller from Tom Hoyle, author of Thirteen, Spiders and Survivor.

Ben's been grieving for his best friend, Will, who suddenly disappeared from their tiny village a year ago. But when twins Sam and Jack begin at the school, things start to look up. Cool, good-looking and popular, they draw Ben into their world and introduce him to The Challenge. What first appears to be a fun internet game quickly turns sinister as Ben's tasks become wilder and more dangerous, starting to raise questions over Will's disappearance. But once you're involved with The Challenge, it's very hard to get out . . .

She reads fantasy when she gets the chance but you'll also find her curled up with classic literature and Silver Screen star biographies. She loves getting kids excited about new adventures and is so enthusiastic when giving recommendations that she sometimes gets tongue-tied.

An awesomely chilling mystery thriller to get you hooked on an author. At the start of each chapter, we have an email being composed. Each chapter you get a few more sentences added. When I tell you I have never been so creeped out by an email…Ben’s best mate has died after a pair of twins move into his little town. These twins are cool, and they seem to like Ben. They just won’t stop making bets… things get weird guys. Ages 12-16
