Aura Boy - Joffre White

Popis produktu

Six years ago, meningitis stripped away Samuel Spry’s sight. Now, at twelve years old, an accidental bump on his head restores it. Well, nearly. Suddenly, his world is full of colour. He can see rainbows of Auras around people. He can see into them, he can sense how they’re feeling, and he has the potential to save lives! Not wanting to alarm his parents, he keeps it a secret, sharing it only with his sister, Amber. However, he’s being watched by the cunning and ruthless Mr Smiggs, a science teacher with a dark past, and who has designs of capturing Sam’s ability for himself, with fortune and revenge in mind. When Sam is kidnapped, Amber and her friends Maya and Callie Baptiste, twins and wannabe super sleuths, set out on a daring rescue mission. ‘Aura Boy’ keeps you on your toes from start to finish with a cracking storyline, two pairs of twins and empathy in bucket loads. This is a dark and twisty adventure that sparkles with menace and ultimately hope – with some support of school libraries thrown in for good measure!’ – Gill Ward, Senior School Librarian, London N10.
