What to expect
Bestselling YA author Melinda Salisbury delivers a hair-raising thriller as Ruby, Freya and Ivy team up to take down the Ash Tree Foundation once and for all.
Ruby, Freya and Ivy are all survivors of the Ash Tree Foundation, an organisation that claimed to help teenagers deal with technology addiction but which was a front for a dangerously addictive augmented-reality platform, Novo Reality.
Novo Reality was the brainchild of tech-baroness Dagmar Nilsson, who disappeared without trace when the Foundation was busted. But now, a year later, just as the girls are all preparing to start a new chapter of their lives, it becomes clear that Dagmar is continuing with her aim of world domination.
Can the three friends draw her out of hiding and shut down the Foundation for good, or will Dagmar’s dream of controlling the world finally come true?
Because the Endgame is coming, and someone is going down …
Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 8.
Critics Review
-
"A sharp, gripping tech thriller that pulls you straight in … Perfect if you want an immersive story you can properly sink into and actually finish. Ideal for reluctant readers and readers with dyslexia, yes, but also brilliant if you just fancy a punchy, satisfying read without a huge commitment." – drawingonbooks, blogger
