The Astonishing Future of Alex Nobody

£6.99

On the day Alex was born, crowds surrounded the hospital. On her first day of school, people spied from the gates. And recently, strangers came to watch her perform in her school play – as the llama. But why? Alex has always been a nobody. Then a mysterious boy named Jasper starts at school and he alone seems to know the answer. But before he can tell Alex, he disappears – into the year 2080. Can Alex brave travelling into the future to discover what’s happened to him and to unravel the secret of her own astonishing destiny before time runs out?
