Publisher's summary

Twelve-year old twins, Mika and Ellie, live in a future behind a wall - safe from the plague animals beyond. Or so they've been told. But when one of them disappears, and the other takes part in a sinister virtual reality game, they begin to discover their concrete world is built on lies. Determined to find each other again, they go in search of the truth. And as a strange sound in their heads grows to a roar, they find out that children and the planet have never mattered more…

Outstanding concept.

I first read this book when I was 10 and instantly fell in love with it. Ever since then I’ve read this book and its sequel every year.

Teenager & Adult book!

I loved this book! I loved the writers creative style! I got this for an 8th grader who loved the story, and I ended up enjoying it too as an adult!
There were a few chapters that I listened to at night and actually couldn’t click stop because I wanted to know how it would unfold! I’m excited to read the second book!

Exciting and clean. How is that possible?

What do you know? A book can be written that is fun and exciting without filth, foul language and inappropriate content. My kids (early to mid teens) loved it. I did too actually! Can't wait for the sequel.

I’m grown and I enjoyed this!

It starts off slow, but it really does pick up. Very clean, with good morals and a good story.
