A gripping psychological novel about staying alive, from a talented first timer
"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
Graham Gardner is 26, the second of ten children. He has worked as a shop assistant, a waiter, a factory worker, a civil servant, and a research officer, and is now completing his Ph D at the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of Wales. He is also a keen musician, playing rock and classical piano. He lives partly in Aberystwyth and partly at his parents' house in the Malvern Hills.
'I was bowled over by Inventing Elliott . . . completely swept away . . . plotting, structure and pace are so accomplished. To write such an assured first novel is staggering. I think this is a tremendous book. There are echoes of Robert Cormier's Chocolate War and that's high praise indeed . . . The language is so compact, measured and powerful.'
Alan Gibbons
Elliot's life has been spinning out of control. He would give anything to get back to normal.
Now, at his new school, he has a chance to reinvent himself. He will make himself so cool, so out of reach, that no one will hurt him ever again.
The plan succeeds beyond his wildest dreams. And then beyond his wildest nightmare.
Elliot is noticed by the Guardians, the mysterious, manipulative group who run the school according to their own very special rules. They want him to become one of them.
For the first time, Elliot has power. But power comes at a terrible price, and Elliot faces an impossible choice when he has to decide how to use it.
Inspired by George Orwell's 1984, Graham Gardner's debut novel about the terrors and rituals of surviving adolescence is intense, searching, poignant and dramatic. You are there, with Elliot, every step of the way.
