Synopsis

An action-packed eco-thriller for 11+ readers from award-winning children's author, Victoria Williamson.

On a remote Scottish island, fourteen-year-old Max’s life changes forever when he loses his hearing in a boating accident. Struggling to make sense of his new life and finding it hard to adapt in school, he begins to notice other - even stranger - changes taking place when a new wind farm appears off the island’s coast.

With the help of three school friends with additional support needs, Max discovers that a sinister scientist, Doctor Ashwood, is using wind turbines to experiment on the islanders. They must find a way to shut down the government’s secret test before it spins out of control…

Reviews

An environmental thriller for a teen audience with positive representation of children with additional support needs, this book needs to be in every school!

Max struggles with the sudden loss of his hearing. When wind turbines appear in the bay, events turn sinister. Victoria Williamson cranks up the tension perfectly until the book’s thrilling ending. We are reminded not to underestimate those different from ourselves. Bravo, Victoria!
Juliette Forrest, Award-winning author of children’s books including The Mountain Rescue Dog and Twister
