Publisher's Synopsis
When they first arrived, they came quietly and stealthily as if they tip-toed into the world when we were all looking the other way. Ade loves living at the top of a tower block. From his window, he feels like he can see the whole world stretching out beneath him. His mum doesnt really like looking outside but its going outside that she hates. Shes happier sleeping all day inside their tower, where its safe. But one day, other tower blocks on the estate start falling down around them and strange, menacing plants begin to appear. Now their tower isnt safe anymore. Ade and his mum are trapped and theres no way out . . . An unusual and very impressive debut.
