Description
The world is dying, overcrowded and polluted. Storms rage over the immensely tall tower blocks, attracted to Movers.
Movers are connected to people in the future, their Shadows. And moving your Shadow is highly illegal.
Patrick knows all too well what happens if you break the law: his father has been in the Shelves ever since he moved his Shadow. And now Patrick and his family are in danger again.
Following a catastrophic event at their school, Patrick must go on the run. Through filthy, teeming markets, forebrawler matches, a labyrinth of underground tunnels and beyond, he'll need his wits and courage to escape the forces that want to take everything he loves.

Reviews / Votes
"Delivers enough originality and twists to leave the readers breathless for more" * Scotsman * "Stunningly original ... vivid and realistic" -- starred review * Quill & Quire * "Once I started reading, I really didn't want to stop. I adored every second of this breathtaking ride and while desperate to know the ending, didn't want the last page to come! 'Movers' is quite simply fabulous and a must have, must read book." -- Liz Robinson * Lovereading4Kids * "If you're looking for a gentle, relaxing read, this isn't it. Movers starts with a bang (literally) and continues at record pace until the very last word." * Inis, Children's Books Ireland * "I loved Movers from the first page, all the action gripped me and I struggled to put it down." -- Amy Laws, age 14, for lovereading4kids.co.ukMore details
