A startlingly compelling new series from one of the UK's top writers for teenagers
So what am I going to tell you? Not much so don't get excited. You probably want to know my name. Well, that's a bit of a problem. I got loads. But there is one name I like. Everybody called me it in the old days. No one does now cos no one in this city knows it. And that's fine. I don't like to remember. But I do like the name. You can use it if you want.
BLADE.
From the Carnegie Medal-winning author of
