Peter Blue Book Award Winner.
Author twice nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
A brilliantly suspenseful novel about a girl who is stalked.
GCSE's are over and sixteen-year-old Imogen is looking forward to a perfect, lazy English summer. But her world is turned upside down by three refugees, all hiding from life. Anthony is fourteen, already an outcast, bullied and shunned by his peers. Farid is an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, who has traveled across continents seeking peace. And Gordon Craig is a bitter, lonely man. She knows all of them, but she doesn't know how dangerous they are. Being part of their lives could cost Imogen her own. Supercharged with tension and drama, Alan Gibbons' novel is about what happens when the fabric of normality is ripped apart exposing the terrifying dark beneath.
