More about the book
Emma Clayton's dazzling debut novel is a highly original dystopian thriller that is rich, thrilling, and frightening, making it utterly unputdownable! Set to be published in early summer 2008 by Chicken House, it will be supported by a robust marketing and publicity campaign. The story follows twelve-year-old Mika Smith, who is convinced his twin sister Ellie is not dead, despite what the police claim. Haunted by surreal nightmares that hint at hidden truths, Mika feels isolated as even his parents label him disturbed. When the Fit For Life project is introduced at school, he suspects a sinister agenda. His counselor, Helen, recognizes that Mika knows more than he should and suggests that he might find Ellie if he participates. Mika enters a competition based on a virtual reality game called Pod Fighter, competing through three thrilling rounds in his quest to locate his sister. As he navigates the challenges, he uncovers remarkable truths about himself and his world. However, as his nightmares begin to manifest, he learns the horrifying reality behind his sister's disappearance and the true purpose of the Fit For Life project.
