When Hector Coleman and his mates genetically mutate overnight, their lives change in impossible ways ... A comic-book inspired adventure for fans of Stephen King and Charlie Higson.Hector Coleman. Just your average angst-ridden teenager, living a normal rubbish life in a normal rubbish town with, let's face it, a rubbish name. But then all the teens in Hector's small town develop weird mutations, and not in a superhero-type way. Someone gets transparent skin, someone else starts breathing fire ... and that doesn't end well. What the hell is going on? Hector and his friends need to find out, before it's too late.It's a bit like Stranger Things, only stranger. Everything has changed. Apart from Hector's name. And his girl trouble. And his embarrassingly low number of Twitter followers. All those things, unfortunately, stay the same. For now ...A warm, funny novel about friendship, family, and being different - oh, plus aliens, mutants and some serious scares ... 'This is one of the weirdest books I have read - I loved it! If you ever imagined that people who get special gifts always turn out to be super-heroes, think again ... a sort of cross between super-hero story, sci-fi, detective story, love story ... More like this, please.' Melvin Burgess
I'm a big fan of Mark Illis, so when I heard he was writing a Young Adult novel, I knew I was in for a treat. He has brought his subtle underwiriting to the genre, and young readers, who may not have read him before, will marvel at his ability to tell an entertaining, thrilling and original story while tugging at your heart strings. This is a story about love, friendship, brotherhood, and being different. Not different in your normal way, but in a mutant way. A town full of teen mutants, feared by adults, loved by the reader. I recommend this book to anybody who has ever imagined talking to your future self, or going back and talking to your younger self. And if you could, what would you say? And what if saying something altered the future history of yourself forever...?
