Read the full description
Fourteen years ago, scientist William Fox risked it all to achieve the impossible: he successfully implanted four babies with the Medusa gene, designed to give the recipient psychic abilities. But Fox's experiment had some devastating consequences, so the babies were hidden away for years and the Medusa gene was heard of no more.
Now the children are teenagers - and about to have their minds blown as their psychic powers kick in. Cocky, charismatic Nico thinks his emerging telekinetic abilities will bring him money, power and the girl of his dreams. He's about to find out just how wrong he is. And that new friends can often turn out to be snakes in the grass . . .
'Sophie's thrillers are brilliant, you never know what's on the next page and you can't stop reading until you find out.' Robert Muchamore, author of the Cherub series and Henderson's Boys.
Having started out as a journalist and editor, Sophie McKenzie became a full-time author after being made redundant and taking up a creative writing course. She immediately fell in love with writing stories and her debut novel Girl, Missing – which has since sold over one million copies – was just the beginning of a multi-award-winning and internationally successful career.
