The pulse-pounding sequel to Jon Robinson's debut novel, Nowhere.

Six kids have escaped from a prison in the middle of nowhere. Now they're being hunted.

And they're beginning to realise they have a valuable skill - a skill that powerful people want for themselves.

They need to use it now more than ever, but can they learn how to in time?

This gripping sequel will leave you clamouring for the next installment.


You can tell this is a British book - I doubt many other other countries would put the words 'clamouring for the next book' in it's description. Britishisms aside, once I finished this book I was wanting the next book - badly! Sadly I have to wait until 2015.

 Anywhere picks up where Nowhere left off, and this time we're out of the prison and running into some seriously stupid decisions. I never knew what the characters planned to do next. It was a lot of fun though and the amount of characters (six), meant that we were in lots of different locations.

 There's a new organisation trying to help the kids - we hope. They may be good, they may be bad. And they all have cool x-men style super powers. But it's not magic. Don't mention the M word, they don't like that. It's science! All I know is, it's something I haven't read about before and a really cool concept too.

 This book introduces a new character that I love. His name's Stephen, which sounds like an old man to me, but he's one of the youngest richest men in the country and completely insane. I love insane. He spends his time tormenting people for fun and truly is a vicious character. I kinda wanted to keep him as a pet.

 I'm curious to see how this series will end so I will be happily picking up the next book! I'm hoping the cover remains the same as I love the dark look of these covers.

Many Covers Monday - ALL THE HARRY POTTER SERIES

Image
After it was not so recently revealed that the classic, original covers were to go out of print and replaced with new, shiny covers, I thought I'd do something crazy this Monday. Harry Potter. But not the first book, no! This Monday I'm showcasing... entire sets of the books. Cool, but a lot of work. And a lot of tabs. These won't just be the covers you know and love, I've included international sets of the books too, which I've never seen before. Not all of the covers are here, but most of them are. (Ignore the random pattern for the last image. I wanted to tile them right) (This post was originally posted back in 2014 and since I'm re-reading the whole series I thought I might as well go for a full Harry Potter week on my blog by sharing my most popular post with new cover sets added. UK - these are the new covers revealed by Bloomsbury recently. These are my favourite covers, I wasn't impressed initially but the amazing covers won
