Story4.5 out of 5 stars 119
When Adam Blake lands the best elective ever in his senior year, serving as an aide to the school psychologist, he thinks he's got it made. Sure, it means a lot of sitting around, which isn't easy for a guy with ADHD, but he can't complain, since he gets to spend the period texting all his friends. Then the doctor asks him to track down the troubled freshman who keeps dodging her, and Adam discovers that the boy is Julian - the foster brother he hasn't seen in five years.

Lucy Klein was struck by lightning. She doesn't remember it, but it changed her forever. An acquired savant, Lucy has genius-level math skills. In fact, at 12-years-old, home-schooled Lucy has already passed high school. But before she can go to college, her grandmother insists Lucy pass one more test: middle school! Lucy doesn't understand why she needs middle school when she's already doing college professor-level math. But grandma insists she give it one year; make one friend; join one activity; and read one book (that isn't a math textbook!). Lucy knows she'll hate it.

And then there is the world of her dreams: going to film school and living in New York City - and maybe, just maybe, pursuing a boy she's known from afar her entire life who's suddenly falling into her orbit at school.

There are very few things Conor and his dad love more than the game, and one of those things is their Doberman, Sinbad.

But without hockey to distract him, Conor begins to notice more. Like his dad's crying bouts, and his friend's difficult family life.

Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early 20th century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. "A place", he said, "where learning is a game." Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym "Truly, Devious".

Run of The Mill Debut
- By Joe Chad on 09-07-17
Publisher's Summary
The astonishing, beautiful new story from the best-selling and Costa short-listed author of Time Travelling with a Hamster.
There are stories about people who want to live forever.
This is not one of those stories.
This is a story about someone who wants to stop....
Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy - except he's 1,000 years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England.
Obviously no-one believes him.
So when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance and a different way to live...which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.

Great Book
Loved this book,especially as I live in the North East of England and was familiar with the different places mentioned. I also liked the historical aspects of it and felt it would bring history alive for a child. I thought both narrators were excellent and they made youu feel that you were there with them. I loved the humour, poignancy and emotion and would recommend it to children and adults alike.

An imaginative idea
I loved listening to this book. It’s a great game idea to intertwine history and fiction. It is aimed at pre teens but i think it’s accessible to a wider age range through to adults who want an easy read/ listen. Thanks

ROXY NEEDS A SEQUEL
I love this story so much! The narrators bring the already vibrant characters to life and Ross Welford didn’t skimp on any of the characters. Honestly would 100% recommend, the story is definitely novel but it was a nice change from what you usually get. Most importantly I loved the Roxy Minto. She definitely was a highlight for me and I really wish there was a sequel *hint hint* that delved deeper into her character! Overall great book go listen to it!

I really enjoyed!!
I have seen this book everywhere and I have always thought it looks to young but finally my mother convinced me to listen to it and I’m so great full she did this book is one of my favourites!! I don’t really know what age group I would recommend for this book but I’m 13 and I really enjoyed it.😍 I think the thing that made this book stand out from all the other books I’ve read is that it’s about an 1,000 year old boy!! I love this book❤️❤️ hope other people enjoy it as much as I did!

Don't hesitate, get this book, read it to the kids
I bought this book on a wet, wintery Friday afternoon for my 11 year old daughter to start to read over the weekend. She was miserable with a head cold so on Friday night i started to read the book to her at her bedtime - an hour later I did not want to put it down - and she was loving it too! Over the course of the weekend we kept on going back to the book and we finished it together on Sunday night. It is a very clever story, well told and on the last page, we both cried happy tears.
It is a book suitable for both boys and girls and spans 1000 years, is about friendship, loss, belonging, hope and resilience. There is not one bit of the book I would change, and I thoroughly recommend it to any adult looking for a story that will draw any reader in and keep them hooked until the end. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
