What to expect
Bestselling YA author Melinda Salisbury exposes the dark underbelly of new technologies and online friendships in this gripping thriller.
Ruby Brookes and her best friend Deva have won free places at the Ash Tree Foundation Performing Arts Camp over the summer, but only if their school grades seriously improve. So when Deva suddenly starts getting high marks in all their subjects, leaving Ruby behind, she is confused and jealous.
Until she finds out Deva's success is down to EchoStar, a new app that's helping her get ahead.
Ruby is desperate to start using it too, but there is much more to EchoStar than she has imagined. Because EchoStar is always watching and listening …
Critics Review
-
“Smart, witty and utterly terrifying, EchoStar reminds us to always question what (and who) we let into our lives” – Simon James Green
“Perfectly creepy and filled with thriller-like tension. I loved that it felt so real and will really resonate with young people today! A great villain and a wonderfully naive protagonist!” – NetGalley review
“Melinda Salisbury just has a way of writing that’s always sure to suck me in. Echostar is always listening, is CREEPY … Think Black Mirror and get ready to spend the rest of your week staring at your phone with mistrust … You are sure to be hooked and locked into this emotional rollercoaster.”
