A compellingly-told modern fable -- Katya Balen, author of The Space We're In I loved this future world... packed with adventure, heart and human emotions -- Ross Welford, author of The 1,000 Year Old Boy A compelling and provocative novel for 10+, asking searching questions about our own online ways of living. * Guardian * An all-too-real thriller for the mature end of the age range. * Observer * Praise for Ele Fountain -- : [Melt is] a marvellously compulsive story. The unbelievable made believable. Now there's the test of a great story -- Michael Morpurgo Fans of Ele Fountain, author of Boy 87 and Lost, will find plenty of white-knuckle drama in Melt * Telegraph * Fountain writes with verisimilitude and verve * Observer * Exceptional... vivid, convincing and empathetic... [Boy 87] grips us with the need to know how the heart-stopping events will turn out * The Times * 'Gripping from the first page to the last, I couldn't put it down' -- Kate (Teacher) 'A stunning look at society and reflection of our digital lives' -- Tom (Teacher) 'There is nothing fake about how amazing this book is!' -- Paul (Teacher) 'This would make for an epic class read and there could be so many brilliant debates and discussions' -- Erin (Teacher) 'FAKE is a compelling and thought-provoking book that already has a list of children at school waiting to read it' -- Karen (Teacher) 'With themes of truth, identity, deception, manipulation and control this is a thrilling read' -- Kevin (Teacher) I love that Ele Fountain doesn't shy away from the issues she writes about but rather enables readers of all ages to absorb, to wonder and to ask questions... This is a page turner and a book that will not be resting on library shelves. A triumphant 5 star read. -- Maja (Teacher) Our students are already big fans of Ele Fountain and I'm sure this will be very popular with them. -- Alison (Librarian) Another original winner that makes you consider where is humanity heading -- Stephen (Teacher)
