Omschrijving
Tendai knows he can never live up to his grieving father's ideals. And Sixpence watches all, knowing he'll never be like these other children.In amongst these tangled, tortured lives, comes a group of psychologists to verify the spookily similar claims of every witness.
"Ingeniously constructed, and as transfixing as the sighting of a UFO"
"A powerful, at times bleak and brutal, read for older teenagers"
"A beautifully written and thought-provoking book about aliens whose lessons on human empathy reach as high as the heavens"
"A demanding read with many rewards... this novel reflects an exploratory mind, uncompromising yet respectful towards his readers' capacity for agile responses"
"A thought-provoking book which deals honestly with some important issues including child abuse, bullying and verbal abuse... it impresses on every young person the importance of speaking up, and on every adult, the need to listen and support"
Jason Wallace is related to Tolkien and a descendant of one of the first International English cricketers, and also of the world-renowned Victorian circus owner "Lord" George Sanger. He was born in Cheltenham in 1969 but moved to London after his parents split up. Aged 12 his life was turned upside down when his mother remarried and the family emigrated to Zimbabwe. It was this experience in a tough boarding school during the aftermath of the war for independence that forms the foundation of his incredible first novel, Out of Shadows. And he did actually meet Robert Mugabe when he visited his school. Jason is currently a web designer, living in South West London with his partner and son.
