"You probably want to know my name. Well, that's a bit of a problem. I got loads. . . . Depends on who I am and who I'm with.
But there is one name I like. It's the name Becky gave me. . . . You can use it if you want: BLADE
.... But remember-it's a secret. If I find out you've blotched on me, then you'll find out why Becky called me Blade."
Blade is, at fourteen, one of the most wanted criminals in his area. But he's disappeared into thin air, and reappeared in another city--a city that's safer. A true master of subtlety, he lives quietly, on the streets by day, and in empty homes by night. No one knows who he is.
Until they start following him. And until the first murder. Blade has to try to escape his past once again, after years in hiding-this time with Becky, a girl unused to the life of a fugitive, and her 3 year old daughter, Jaz. Now it's up to Blade to protect them all.
Written as a conversation between quirky Blade and the reader this is an action-packed, and excitingly gritty read.
Great for fans of CHERUB, Alex Rider, or Little Brother.
