|summary=Stunning sci-fi novel, with an exceptionally likeable central pairing and a fast-moving and exciting plot. Totally crazy in the very best way. Sam was good enough to come into Bookbag Towers and [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Sam Hawksmoor|chat to us]].

Oh, special mention for the setting of Spurlake, a place where thirty four children (thirty six, including Rian and Genie) have disappeared from recently, and which starts the novel about to be devastated by a flash flood. It’s a massively spooky setting with very few people who can be trusted, and really adds to the tension of the novel as the pair try to avoid the fate which may have befallen the other missing kids.
Absolutely huge recommendation as a book which will surely be one of the best of 2012; I can see this one selling massively and winning huge acclaim. Roll on [[The Hunting by Sam Hawksmoor|book 2]]!
For more superb young adult sci-fi, I'm a big fan of Michael Grant's excellent [[Gone by Michael Grant|Gone]] series.
