A compelling novel by Carnegie Medalist Kevin Brooks. Now adapted as a Netflix film starring Maisie Williams (of Game of Thrones fame). Before the attack, sixteen-year-old Tom Harvey was just a normal boy. But after an attack, fragments of a broken iPhone lodged in his brain, having an extraordinary effect on him... Because now Tom has powers. He possesses the ability to know and see more than he could ever imagine. And with incredible power comes knowledge—and a choice. Will he take revenge on the violent gangs that control his neighborhood and attacked his girlfriend, Lucy, or will he remain silent? Tom is in control while everything around him is chaotic. But it's a dangerous price to pay, and the consequences are terrifying.
